Shrimp are not only a delicacy, but also contain a huge amount of nutrients that are beneficial to the body.
Due to their rich chemical composition, they are healthier than meat and many other products.
Therefore, from time to time it is worth treating yourself and your loved ones to shrimp, and serving them on the table when you have guests in the house.
This will add variety to the holiday menu. Moreover, they are prepared much faster than not only meat, but also most vegetables. This article will discuss how to fry shrimp to surprise guests and family members.
The easiest way to fry
The first rule of cooking is: do not overcook. If shrimp are cooked for too long, they become "rubbery". This should not be allowed.
To fry, pour olive oil into the pan. There should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan to a height of 5-7 mm.
Throw coarsely chopped garlic and pieces of dry chili pepper into the heated oil. For a medium-sized frying pan, take 4-5 cloves of garlic and one small chili pepper. However, these ingredients can be varied to suit your taste.
Fry on low heat so that the garlic does not burn. When the garlic is about to turn golden, put the shrimps on the frying pan. They should lie in one layer. After frying for a minute, add salt and fry for another minute. Everything is done on minimum heat so that it does not burn.
You can serve it with herbs and white bread croutons.
Deep fried
This cooking option is more complicated and time-consuming, but it is ideal for a friendly party or serving on the table during the New Year or birthday celebration.
You need to choose the largest shrimp. It is better to take peeled ones right away to save time. 10-15 minutes before cooking, add garlic, passed through a press, and salt. Leave in this marinade.
When the marinating time is over, the shrimps need to be threaded onto long skewers. Roll each shrimp in flour, then in beaten egg, and then in breadcrumbs. Fry in a large amount of boiling oil. Readiness is determined by appearance.
When the breadcrumbs are golden brown, remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
The dish can be served with any hot sauce. Sushi sauce will do.
Such an interesting and tasty dish will definitely surprise your guests. You can put it on the table on a plate, fanning it out.
