Tender Shrimp

I don't know well-nigh you, but I have ruined a LOT of expensive shrimp over the years past times non cooking it properly. I convey been known to plough $20 dollars worth of beautiful raw shrimp into a bowl of shrimp that taste similar erasers!!  Very frustrating for sure!!

Well, non whatever more, my friends!! I convey constitute the easiest, quickest, most fool proof together with for certain most delicious means to cook RAW shrimp. Where has this recipe been all my life?? Am I the solely 1 who didn't know this trick?




A QUICK thirty MINUTE BRINE
1 loving cup mutual coldness water
2 cups H2O ice (I simply used an H2O ice cube tray full)
1/4 loving cup kosher salt
1/4 loving cup white sugar

Mix the brine ingredients well, then add 1 to 1½ pounds of raw shrimp (roughly 25 shrimp to the pound) that convey had the heads, trounce together with dorsum vein removed (leave the tail on if you lot want).

Stir the shrimp GENTLY to brand sure the brine reaches all of the shrimp evenly, together with thence chill them in the refrigerator for thirty minutes.

After thirty minutes, drain the shrimp together with rinse WELL nether mutual coldness RUNNING water.  Drain and BLOT DRY with newspaper towels and maintain mutual coldness piece your broiler heats up.

Put a DRY (no grease) cookie canvass nether the broiler (about 6" from the flame) together with preheat it nether the broiler for FIVE FULL MINUTES.

While the pan is heating up, seat 1 tablespoon olive stone oil inwards a bowl together with add together 1/4 teaspoon dark pepper together with 1/8 to 1/4 cayenne pepper (but no tabular array salt because the shrimp volition even thence convey a petty tabular array salt from the brine on them). Stir until good mixed together with and thence add together the shrimp and GENTLY toss to coat all sides of the shrimp.

After the pan has pre-heated nether the broiler for FIVE MINUTES, seat the shrimp on it (they volition sizzle). Quickly put the HOT pan total of shrimp back nether the broiler.

Broil (6" away from flame) for two minutes, together with thence flip the shrimp over, together with broil for one to a greater extent than minute.

Remove the shrimp from your broiler, AND TAKE THEM OFF OF THE HOT PAN IMMEDIATELY(or they volition proceed to make together with function rubbery). That's it!! Easy every bit pie.


Shrimp cooked amongst this method are extremely tender together with flavorful. This is a swell technique for ANY recipe that calls for pre-cooked shrimp.  It is likewise a GREAT method to make shrimp for a large crowd!!

ENJOY !!
