04.08.2019 Salads

Who among us doesn't like shrimp? It is a favorite beer snack and a component of many salads and other dishes. It is not a problem to buy shrimps, even in a small seafood store there are 2-3 types of shrimps. However, as practice shows, few of us know how to choose these healthy seafood and cook them correctly.
Choosing quality shrimps
Small sea cold-water shrimps are imported to Russia from Denmark, Norway and the Baltic countries (Lithuania and Estonia). It is better to give preference to them, in this case, you will buy shrimp caught in the sea, and not raised on a farm. In addition, all EU products undergo strict quality control.
Bulk shrimp are cheaper and you always have the opportunity to consider what you buy, but experts advise you to choose shrimp prepackaged in bags. This way you can get complete information about the manufacturer and check the expiration date.
The most common marking is 70/90, it shows that one kilogram contains about 70 or 90 shrimp of the same size.
Shrimp are sold in shell and peeled. Buying ready-made meat will help save time on cooking, but unpeeled shrimp will taste brighter. Sea shrimp should have a curled tail, a pale pink carapace, and a pink, brown, or greenish head.
If you come across shrimp with black heads, or with white spots, there is snow or ice in the package or container, you must refuse to purchase. You don't want to eat a low-quality product, do you?
Useful properties of shrimp
Shrimp meat contains various trace elements (Fe, Cu, Mg, Zn, Ph, Se, K, Ca) and vitamins (A, B6, B12, E, D). By eating just one serving of these seafood, we provide ourselves with almost half (47%) of the daily protein intake. One of the disadvantages is the high cholesterol content. 100 g of ready-made shrimp contains 95-106 kcal.

Let's start cooking shrimp

Usually there are pinkish shrimps on sale, which are boiled and frozen. Since they are almost ready to eat, they only need to be cooked for 3-5 minutes. Raw shrimp have a gray shell, they are cooked longer (10 minutes).
We will cook shrimp 90/120.
1. Weigh the seafood before cooking. We got 206.

2. Pour 400 ml (1.5 cups) cold water into a saucepan and put it on fire.
3. Add salt and spices. For 206 g of shrimp: 1 tsp. (with a slide) salt, 1/2 tsp. black peppercorns, 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice.
4. When the water boils, add the shrimp.

5. When the water boils again, cook for 3 minutes. You need to cook shrimp in a sealed container so that the water does not boil away.
6. We discard the cooked shrimp. The weight of the finished product (in the shell) is 165 g. That is, during the cooking process the weight is reduced by 1/5. Knowing this ratio, you can calculate how many raw shrimp you need to cook a dish.

7. We clean the shrimp, we got 47 grams of meat.

Cook shrimp in a microwave, pressure cooker, double boiler or slow cooker
It is more convenient for someone to cook shrimp using household appliances. Yes, in this case, the cooking time will be longer, however, you can not control the process and cook without adding water. The shrimp are not thawed, placed in a cooking container, mixed with salt (1-2 tsp) and ground black pepper (1 tsp).
Depending on the cooking method, you need to additionally:
⦁ for cooking in the microwave - prepare a mixture of 2 tbsp. l. olive oil and 5 tbsp. l. soy sauce, and pour over the shrimp;
⦁ for a double boiler - sprinkle the shrimp with lemon juice, cut half the lemon into slices and lay on top;
⦁ for a pressure cooker - add a little water.
The total cooking time is:
⦁ in a microwave oven - 10 minutes (average power);
⦁ in a double boiler - 15 minutes;
⦁ in a multicooker - 20 minutes (“Baking” mode);
⦁ in a pressure cooker - 1 min (mode "Frying seafood").

Shrimps boiled in beer

By replacing the water with beer, the shrimp will acquire additional softness and flavor. However, not everyone likes seafood cooked this way, as it sometimes tastes bitter. Therefore, you need to be more careful when choosing a beer.
Ingredients:
500 g of boiled-frozen shrimp, 0.5 l (1 bottle) of any light beer, 1 lemon, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp. salt, 10 peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, a small bunch of parsley.
We cook shrimp in beer as follows:
1. Open the frozen seafood package.
2. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
3. Wash the parsley, dry and chop.
4. Pour the beer into a saucepan and squeeze the juice out of the lemon.
5. Let the beer boil.
6. Then add seafood, garlic, herbs and spices to the beer, salt.
7. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Then remove from heat, cover and leave for 10 minutes.
Shrimps prepared in this way are considered one of the best beer snacks!

Summer shrimp salad

You will need:
1 package of shrimp (0.5 kg), 3 cucumbers (fresh), 3-4 small fresh tomatoes, a small bunch of onions.
For the Vinaigrette sauce:
3 tbsp. l vegetable oil (preferably olive oil), 1 tbsp. l. wine vinegar, 1 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, black pepper and other spices (to taste).
How to make shrimp salad:
1. Put the shrimps in boiling water, cook for 3 minutes, cool and remove shells.
2. Thoroughly wash cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs.
3. Then cut the tomatoes into circles or slices (depending on the size), cut the cucumbers into "triangles", chop the green onion.
4. Prepare the "Vinaigrette" sauce: in a glass or stainless steel bowl, mix vinegar with oil with a whisk or blender, add salt, sugar, spices.
5. Season vegetables with ready-made sauce.
Take a plate of a suitable size, arrange in the center of the shrimp in a slide, and around them - a salad. The dish is prepared just before serving.
Finally, some useful tips:
1. To make the shrimp juicy and soft, cook them no longer than 3 minutes, otherwise the meat will be rubbery and tasteless.
2. You do not need to pour a lot of water, then the shrimp meat will be tastier. Additional liquid is formed when the ice crust, which covers the shrimp, melts.
3. The broth in which the shrimps were cooked can be used as a base for sauces. To prevent the broth from evaporating during cooking, cover the dishes with a lid.
4. For every 0.5 kg of shrimp, take 1 tbsp. salt.
5. Shrimp is best served with garlic or soy sauce. Among the herbs and spices, paprika, cumin, allspice, fresh parsley, basil and oregano are considered suitable additions.
6. 1-2 bay leaves added during cooking will give the shrimp a pleasant flavor.

Few people know, but shrimp belongs to the category of foods that go bad quickly. In fishing grounds, they are usually prepared on the same day they are caught. That is why we advise you to buy frozen shrimp if you are not in the Mediterranean. This is a guarantee that a fresh and quality product will be on your table.

Chilled shrimp can often be found on store shelves. Don't fall for it: these shrimps are simply defrosted. It's not worth the risk.

Defrost shrimp before cooking

Do not cook shrimp that you just removed from the freezer. When you put them in boiling water, the temperature will drop. As a result, tender shrimp meat will cook unevenly, and the dish will turn out to be tasteless.

Thawing shrimp at room temperature or in warm water is also not a good idea. This can negatively affect the taste of the product. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and place it under cool running water.

Gently remove the intestines

The intestines should be removed before boiling the shrimp. This must be done correctly. If you start to remove the intestines with a blunt knife, then only pieces of shrimp will remain.

To preserve the appetizing appearance of the shrimp and not spoil the dish, use a simple life hack. Make a neat cut in the shell along the back with kitchen scissors on each shrimp. Use tweezers or the tip of a knife to pick up the black vein of the intestine and pull on it. Done!

Cook the shrimp completely

An important fact: shrimp will be tastier if cooked unpeeled. The shell retains all the juices inside the meat and has a protective function. For example, if you add too much salt to the water, it will protect the shrimp meat and absorb excess salt.

If you did peel the shrimp beforehand, do not throw away the heads and shells. Boil them with herbs and citrus fruits. The result is a very mouth-watering and aromatic broth that complements your Mediterranean dinner.

Calculate the correct amount of water for cooking

To make your shrimp tasty, it is important to choose the right amount of water for cooking. The golden formula is simple: the volume of liquid should be 2 times the volume of shrimp. In this situation, they will turn out to be very tasty, aromatic and mouth-watering.

It is necessary to throw shrimp into boiling water. Remember that seafood that ends up in the pot must be defrosted.

Cook shrimp right

Shrimp is the perfect food. Firstly, they are delicious, and secondly, they can be prepared in a matter of minutes. Not everyone knows how to cook shrimp correctly so that they turn out not to be tasteless, but truly appetizing and aromatic.

Cooking time for shrimp without shell is 2-3 minutes. The tiger prawns are cooked for 5-7 minutes. If you are cooking 1kg of shrimp, you will need 2 liters of water. Boil water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the shrimp and cook until the water boils again. Then turn off the stove.

Shrimp is a very tasty and healthy product. It is quite possible to cook it at home, but for this it is worth following a few simple cooking rules. Ready shrimp meat will delight you with its softness, tenderness and juiciness.

Shrimp is a very tasty product, which in our usual society is considered a delicacy. This is because the cost of shrimp is too high and sometimes exceeds all permitted standards. The higher the quality of the shrimp, the more expensive their cost will be.

It is worth noting that there are two types of shrimp:

  • cold water
  • warm water

Cold-water shrimps are those shrimps that are commonly called "Atlantic" for us. They are not large and they are cheaper in cost. More elite types of shrimp are considered warm water: Tiger and Royal. This shrimp is much larger than the Atlantic shrimp, it has more meat, and its meat is tastier.

Shrimp is a product that definitely needs to be cooked in order to avoid poisoning. In addition, the taste of cooked shrimp meat is aromatic and delicate, while raw meat is practically tasteless, with a fishy flavor.

The best way to cook shrimp is to boil them. But this is not so easy either. The fact is that cooking shrimp requires a certain amount of time.

It should be observed very precisely. If you overcook the shrimp for just a minute, the meat will become rubbery and not tasty. And if you do everything right, then the shrimp will literally "melt in your mouth."

How to cook fresh shrimp correctly and how much after boiling?

Now that you have accurately identified the type of your product, you should start cooking them. It is important to know that you do not need to peel the shrimp before cooking, you risk tearing off the extra pieces of meat.

However, if you have any personal beliefs and aversion to shrimp heads, you can do this painstaking work and chop off each head with a knife. But with the same success, you can do it with the finished product, without harm to the meat.

Cooking shrimp:

  • Prepare a large pot for cooking. It can even be a ten-liter saucepan. The main thing is a sufficient amount of water and a convenient way to catch shrimp with a slotted spoon.
  • Wait until the water boils completely and salt it; a teaspoon of salt in a large pot of water is enough
  • If you wish, you can add any spice to your taste. The most popular are: bay leaf, a bunch of dill, a few cloves and even a slice of lemon or lime

Boiled shrimp can be immediately placed on ice to cool and retain their tenderness. But this is far from fundamental. You can immediately place them on a paper towel to absorb excess water, or on a serving dish.

Do shrimp need to be thawed before cooking?

In most cases, the customer buys frozen shrimp from the store instead of freshly caught. This is the most common way to deliver shrimp anywhere in the world for consumption. But these shrimps have one caveat. As a rule, the product that is frozen is already half-finished.

Probably, some have already paid attention to the fact that fresh shrimp has an unpleasant grayish color, and packed and frozen in a store - an appetizing orange. Semi-cooked shrimp is purposely boiled lightly and frozen for ease of use.

This shrimp should be boiled a little less in time than fresh. It is important to know that it should not be thawed. If you notice that there is too much ice on one shrimp, this is the consequence of several re-freezing and the unfair attitude of sellers to the products.

It is best not to buy such shrimp. Avoid frozen shrimp by weight and purchase one that is sealed.

If there is a lot of ice on the shrimp, you can try breaking it before cooking. Cover the shrimp with a towel and tap it with a rolling pin.

Cooking frozen shrimp:

  • Salt water, pepper and add spices to your taste
  • Place the frozen shrimp in the pot
  • Without waiting for the next boil of water, detect exactly forty seconds
  • After 30-40 seconds, take a slotted spoon and, stirring all the shrimps, start taking them one by one onto the dish
  • Make sure your shrimp is soft

How to cook frozen unpeeled shrimp in shell?

In a modern store, you can find three types of shrimp for food:

  • freshly caught
  • unpeeled (those that immediately or after cooking gave in to freezing)
  • peeled (can be pickled, can be in sauce and even frozen)

The difference between peeled and unrefined is that some have a shell, while the other do not. If you see shrimp meat on sale, you should know that this is a ready-to-eat product that only requires defrosting. Shrimps that have a shell have a natural shell and eggs (depending on gender).

Shrimp meat in any form is more expensive than unpeeled shrimp because most of the work has already been done. The existing shell does not affect the taste of the product. While you boil water, fresh shrimp should be boiled in the usual way:

  • small - half a minute
  • large - two and a half

The cooled boiled shrimp in the shell is convenient to eat. You tear off the tail (it is prickly and not edible), as well as the head. Spread the legs of the shrimp and take out the meat. Everything is very simple.

Video: "How to cook delicious shrimp?"

In fact, cooking shrimp is easy enough. They need to be thrown into water and boiled for several minutes. But if everything were as simple as we wrote, then this article, most likely, would not exist. "So what's the difficulty?" - you ask. And the fact is that there are many nuances that need to be taken into account when cooking. For example, whether the shrimps were cooked before you bought them, will you cook them in shell or peeled, what size your shrimp will be, frozen or thawed shrimp you will cook, etc. As you can see, there are a lot of subtleties, so, without ranting for a long time, we turn to the main part, namely, how to cook shrimp correctly.

How to cook frozen shrimp in shell?

To begin with, we note that you should not throw shrimps into boiling water directly from the bag. It's better to defrost them beforehand. To do this, you need to place the shrimp in a colander (sieve, bowl, or other container that you have at hand). And we begin to defrost the shrimp under running water. By the way, shrimp is one of the few seafood that can be defrosted using warm or even hot water. Along with the frozen water, unnecessary "details" of the shrimp, such as broken antennae, claws, tails, pieces of shell, and so on, will go away.

Then we put a container of water on the fire. We take water in volume twice as much as the volume of shrimp. Salt the water. We take about 40 grams of salt per liter of water, and bring the water to a boil. Throw the shrimps into boiling water and cook. After the shrimps are cooked, they are strained and seasoned with lemon juice (for taste) and any vegetable oil (for a shiny shell) and served.

How long does it take to cook shrimp?

The answer to the question "How long does it take to cook shrimp?" depends on what kind of shrimp we are dealing with. If we are talking about shrimps that have already been pre-cooked (they are red), then they need to be cooked for 3-5 minutes. And if you bought fresh frozen shrimps (they are gray-green), then they are boiled a little longer, about 7 minutes. All this on the condition that we throw the shrimp into boiling water. If we throw it into a cold one, then we cook the specified number of minutes after boiling water.

How to cook shrimp in the microwave?

Here's a pretty simple and original recipe. We take 2 kg of shrimp, defrost them, and pour 1 glass of beer. Add 2 teaspoons of lime juice there, salt and pepper if desired. We put the container in the microwave and turn it on at full power for 7 minutes. Then we take out the container and pour out about half of the beer, stir and put it in the microwave again for another 5 minutes at the same power. That's it, the shrimps are ready.

How to cook king prawns properly?

The technology for boiling these shrimps is no different from the technology for boiling frozen shrimp in shell. With just one exception. King prawns are boiled for 5-7 minutes, and not 3-5, like ordinary shrimps.

In order to cook shrimp with lemon, you can do two things. The first is after the water for the shrimp boils, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into it. Second - also at the time of boiling, put half a lemon, cut into wedges, into the water.

How to cook peeled shrimp properly?

The method for boiling peeled shrimp is similar to the method for boiling shell-on shrimp. But you need to take half as much salt (20 grams per 1 liter) and cook them for no more than 3 minutes.

How to cook shrimp in a double boiler?

Pour water into a double boiler up to the marked line. Then put the previously thawed shrimp in it, add some salt to them, and, if desired, sprinkle them with lemon juice, or put lemon wedges on top of the shrimp. And turn on the double boiler for 15 minutes. The shrimps are ready.

Shrimp is an incredibly delicious delicacy. If cooked correctly, it can also bring invaluable benefits to the body. The abundance of proteins, fatty acids, vitamins and mineral components remains even after heat treatment of the product. Despite the fact that it is not so easy to find fresh shrimp, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the processing features of the products.

Unfortunately, it is very easy to spoil them if you violate the basic rules of preparation and processing. Many housewives, fearing that they will receive a raw product, try to cook it not as much as necessary, but add a few minutes to the recommended indicators. As a result, seafood is transformed into useless and inedible gum.

What's the best way to boil shell-on shrimp?

It is the shrimps in the shell that are recognized by lovers of this product as the most delicious. It is believed that with the correct processing of the components, the finished dish will have the most delicate taste and rich aroma. This is not as difficult to achieve as it seems. You only need to consistently perform a number of manipulations:

  • First, you need to make sure that the products are really raw, and not cooked (some manufacturers continue to abuse the ignorance of consumers). The correct product will have a gray head and carapace.

Tip: If fresh seafood is not on hand and you have to deal with frozen shrimp, they need to be properly prepared. For defrosting, it is best to use warm water, and not a microwave or boiling water, then the texture of the meat will be as tender as possible.

  • Before cooking products, you need to prepare everything you need. We take fresh seafood, lemon, dill, peppercorns (black and allspice), onion, bay leaf and salt. How much to take will have to be determined by eye and adjusted in the cooking process.
  • We take water 2 times more in volume than shrimp. Put half a lemon in it, cut into slices. Add pepper, salt, bay leaf, halved onion. Bring the mass to a boil.
  • Put the shrimps in a boiling marinade, add chopped greens there. If necessary, reduce the fire a little, but the mass should boil. Mix the composition occasionally, acting very carefully.
  • You need to cook the products until cooked, i.e. the appearance of a pink or reddish tint and emergence. On average, it takes 6-7 minutes for small items, 10 minutes for large ones.

We throw the finished product into a colander, getting rid of the remnants of the marinade. Serve neat, with sauces or dressing made from vegetable oil and lemon juice.

How to boil different types of shrimp correctly?

All shrimps need to be cooked in approximately the same scenario, but it is important to keep in mind some of the nuances. To always get the perfect result, you should follow these instructions:

  • King prawns. It is not so important which recipe is chosen, the main thing is how much the product is boiled. As a result, its color should become uniformly pink, closer to red. The optimum holding time is 8-10 minutes with constant boiling. If you overexpose the product even a little, it will become practically inedible. When everything is done correctly, the products do not break, they are easy to clean, the meat is tender and juicy.

  • Tiger chrimp. To boil fresh products, it is best to use the classic recipe. Bring the water to a boil, add salt. Be sure to lay out a few peas of allspice and garlic cloves cut into quarters. Put the well-washed shrimps in fragrant boiling water. Cook them again until the color changes. Depending on the size, the time can be from 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Black sea shrimps.This product has a deep special taste. It should be noted that the Black Sea representatives of the marine fauna will be spoiled if you overdo it with seasonings. The best approach is to boil raw products in salted water with a few peas of allspice until their color changes to red. Sometimes a bay leaf is added, but more often it turns out to be superfluous.

But for beer, the best flavored seafood is best suited. When boiling shrimp, you can use coriander, dill seeds, paprika, and more as a frothy snack snack. Products acquire a very unusual taste if boiled directly in light beer.

Features of the preparation of fresh langoustines

A very special type of shrimp that requires a specific approach. Before cooking, it is recommended to soak such products for half an hour in cold water without any additives, and then rinse thoroughly. Then the product is prepared according to any of the traditional recipes, you just need to consider how much such large products are processed. On average, it takes 20 minutes to bring them to readiness.

In addition to the traditional approach to making langoustines, you should try this option:

  • We take fresh large shrimps, soak them and rinse them. In addition, we need onions, carrots, dry white wine, lemon, butter, salt and pepper.
  • Mix the wine with water in equal proportions, bring to a boil. Put seafood in the liquid, add salt and pepper. Immediately add chopped vegetables.
  • The product needs to be cooked for 15-20 minutes until reddening, i.e. until ready. We put the resulting products immediately on plates. Add lemon juice and butter to the remaining broth (it should have evaporated noticeably by this time). We simmer the composition for several minutes and pour the langoustines with the resulting sauce.

If desired, shrimp can be cooked in a multicooker, double boiler or microwave. The optimal holding time will be between 5 and 10 minutes, depending on the type and size of the product. In some cases, you will have to select it yourself, taking into account the technical characteristics of the household appliance. In general, the recipes will not change, but sometimes minor correction is possible.
