How to cook frozen shrimp

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   That's the whole simple set of ingredients that will be required for cooking shrimp. Of course, the shrimps must be of high quality, fresh, about the same size, whole, the ice shell 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 coat. Very often, shrimps are sent to a saucepan directly with ice, but this is a common mistake. Very quickly, you can do this by simply washing them with a stream of warm water - so we will get rid of excess dirt, broken antennae and paws, as well as unnecessary ice

3. Step 3:

   

   When the water boils, put the onion cut into 4 parts, it will give a characteristic flavor

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, if we cook already peeled frozen shrimp, the amount of salt should be halved

5. Step 5:

   

   Add a couple of bay leaves

7. Step 6:

   

   Add other dry spices - cloves, allspice and black pepper, they will be very useful here. Here we also put an umbrella of dried dill or fresh herbs - and so, and so it will be very fragrant. The set of spices is quite conditional, you can use the ones I suggested, or you can add, for example, garlic, a special set of spices for seafood or other spices to taste

8. Step 7:

   

   Bring the water with spices and salt to a boil, then add the shrimp. The contents of the pan are brought to a boil again and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, the crustacean meat is very tender, so this time is quite enough. If you have unprocessed shrimp with a gray-green hue, cook them for 6-7 minutes

9. Step 8:

   

   If desired, the shrimp is immediately cleaned and watered with lemon juice. But few people know that if you consume shrimp with shell particles, chitosan, which is part of them, "expels" the "bad" cholesterol that has already accumulated in the blood, helps to fight obesity
