For this dish, you should take large specimens of these crustaceans. Of course, small ones can also be used, but it is necessary to take into account the fact that during the cooking process they will become even smaller. Shrimps must be cleaned beforehand, but they can also be left in the shell. So, they will retain their juiciness and their unique taste.
When buying shrimp for frying on a grill, count so that at least 150 grams of seafood per person.
We serve royal or tiger prawns with a slice of lemon, seafood sauce, and cold foamy beer.
