Shrimp Cooking Tips
Broiling: First, place the shrimp on a cutting board with the swimerets exposed. Using a sharp knife, cut between the swimerets through the meat to the shell. Spread the shell until it lies flat, and wash thoroughly in cold water. Season and prepare shrimp, then broil in oven for 4-5 minutes. Basting shrimp during broiling period is often a good habit to help prevent burnt edges.
Boiling: Bring water to boil. Put shrimp in and BEGIN TIMING NOW! (3 1/2 to 4
minutes) Don't wait for water to boil again. Serve warm or chilled.
-This tip is brought to you by Wanda of Kentucky. This was her effort to find a way to boil shrimp so the shells don't stick to the meat.
Pan frying: Thaw shrimp if frozen. Pat dry with a paper towel before cooking. Heat 1/4 teaspoon olive oil in large skillet. Add shrimp and desired seasoning. Cook 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook.
Deep frying: Dip shrimp in milk and then lightly dust with flour. Add to medium heated vegetable oil. Fry until golden brown.
Always be careful to avoid over-cooking shrimp as they will toughen and lose their sweet flavor.

Shrimp creole is the way to go. Use cleaned shrimp. Saute chopped onion and garlic in butter. When soft add 2 tbs. flour and stir for about 3 minutes. Keep heat low. Add 2 cups water and chopped parsley, simmer for about 5 minutes. Add cleaned shrimp cook about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice.

pan fry in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until they are no longer pink. Or simply boil them until them. Shrimp are hard to mess up! To test for doneness, it should no longer be pink, and the flesh will be like cooked chicken... sorta stringy, but not "fleshy". If cooked too long, they get rubbery, but it won't make you sick. Good luck!
