Chef’s Tips

• Dry the shrimp. Wet shrimp steam instead of taking colour.
• Take them out at the loose C. A tight curl means overcooked.
• Frozen shrimp work well, thawed and patted dry.

Pairing Suggestions

• Cocktail sauce
• Coriander lime rice
• A green salad

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate up to 2 days and eat cold or warm just until hot. Freezing cooked shrimp toughens them.
