How to cook boiled frozen shrimp

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   The set of ingredients is certainly not tricky - the main ones here are shrimp, the taste of the finished dish will greatly depend on their quality. The shrimps should be about the same size, whole, the ice coat should not be thick, otherwise in the process of defrosting our shrimps will lose a lot of weight and we will give money only for water. Usually, shrimp are already pre-boiled on sale, so we will cook them pretty quickly

2. Step 2:

   

   First of all, we put it on fire in a fairly roomy pot with water (the ratio of shrimp and water is at least 1:2), and at this time we get rid of the ice shell. Very often, shrimp are sent to the pan directly with it, but this is a common mistake. Very quickly do it just by washing them under warm water - so get rid of excess dirt, broken antennae and paws, as well as ice

3. Step 3:

   

   When the water boils, add an umbrella of dried dill to the water - it will give a characteristic aroma. Instead of an umbrella, you can take fresh dill or dill seeds or not use it at all

4. Step 4:

   

   Add salt - do not worry, we will need quite a lot of it - we need 40-45 g of salt for 1 liter of water

5. Step 5:

   

   Add spices to taste - a few stars of cloves, black and allspice peas are perfect here

7. Step 6:

   

   When the water with spices boils, we send the prepared shrimp to the pan and bring it to a boil again

8. Step 7:

   

   We cook shrimp in boiling water for literally 2-3 minutes - the meat of crustaceans is very tender and if it is digested, it will turn out to be harsh, it is better not to do this

9. Step 8:

   

   In order for our shrimps to be cleaned better, we wash them with cold water
