Shrimply the Best Advice

FAQs:

Q: Can I cook the shrimp frozen?

A: We recommend thawing your shrimp before cooking. While thawing the shrimp overnight in the refrigerator gives the best results, you can also quickly thaw by placing the packaged shrimp in cold water for 15-20 minutes.

Q: What if I don't have a cast-iron skillet?

A: Non-stick or stainless steel pans are good options, and any heavy-bottomed pan will work for this recipe.

Q: What seasonings work well besides salt and pepper?

A: Garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, Old Bay seasoning, or Italian herbs all complement the shrimp beautifully.

Q: Can I substitute lime for lemon?

A: Absolutely! Lime juice works quite well and adds a slightly different citrus note.

Tips:

Pre-Cooking Preparation Tips

• Pat completely dry - If the shrimp is still wet, it will steam instead of sear, preventing that beautiful golden crust.

• Bring to room temperature - Let shrimp sit out for 10-15 minutes before cooking for more even cooking throughout.

• Don't overcrowd the pan - Shrimp should have space between each piece for proper searing. Cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking.

• Preheat your pan properly - Drop a small amount of water into the pan to test the temperature; the water should sizzle immediately. When adding the oil, it should shimmer but not smoke.

During Cooking Tips

• Don't move the shrimp too early - Resist the urge to stir! Let them develop a nice sear on the first side before flipping.

• Use the "C" rule - Perfectly cooked shrimp form a loose "C" shape. Overcooked shrimp curl into tight "O" shapes.

• Remove from heat slightly early - Shrimp continue cooking for 30 seconds after removing from heat (carryover cooking)
