Fried king prawns in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry king prawns in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Instead of shallots, you can take an ordinary onion, small in size. But instead of lemon, lime will go well — it will give the dish a special flavor.

2. Step 2:

   

   Defrost the king prawns at room temperature and clean them (remove the chitinous shell, heads and tails). Then rinse the shrimp meat well, make an incision on the back of each shrimp and remove the vena cava.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel and finely chop the garlic.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel and chop the onion as finely as possible.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add vegetable oil and butter to the pan — this is necessary in order to prevent gorenje butter. Send the garlic and onion to the same place. Also don't forget about herbs. You can use any of them according to your own preferences. Dill (dill umbrellas), rosemary or thyme go very well with shrimp.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the pan on the fire and put out the onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring continuously. When they become slightly transparent, make the fire to the maximum.

8. Step 7:

   

   Immediately add the shrimp and soy sauce to the pan. You can use a small pinch of salt instead of soy sauce, but, to my taste, the sauce gives the dish a spicy flavor.

9. Step 8:

   

   With constant stirring, fry the shrimp over high heat until the soy sauce evaporates. The shrimp should turn red and curl into rings. Sprinkle them with lemon or lime juice, mix. The main thing in this step is to remove the shrimp from the pan in time, since with long heat treatment, the shrimp meat will become rubbery and hard.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the finished shrimp from the pan, put it in a plate, sprinkle lemon or lime juice on top again. Sprinkle with allspice if desired. Garnish with a slice of citrus and herbs. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!
