Choosing & preparing shrimp
How to choose
Look for firm, translucent flesh with a clean sea smell — never ammonia. Shell-on shrimp keep more flavour; larger counts (fewer per kilo) mean bigger shrimp.
Prep & storage
Peel and devein, leaving the tail on for presentation if you like. A quick brine firms the texture; pat dry before searing so they brown rather than steam.
When is it done?
Cook just until they curl into a loose C and turn opaque pink — a tight O means they're overdone and rubbery.
Nutrition
Very lean and high in protein, with selenium, vitamin B12 and iodine for few calories.
Classic flavour partners: garlic, lemon, chilli, butter, ginger, parsley
