Instruction
1
Shrimp go on sale often frozen. To defrost, remove them from the packaging, put in a bowl and store in the refrigerator overnight. If you don't have much time, put a package of shrimp in the sink with cold water and wait until they will be unfrozen, at the rate of 1 hour for each pound of frozen shrimp. Never defrost seafood neither at room temperature nor in a microwave oven.
2
Make sure you have fresh shrimp, not the boiled. Boiled frozen shrimp do not need to re-boil, but just heat in boiling water.
3
Shrimp cooked with shell, have very distinct taste, extra flavor and juiciness. Heads and shells of boiled shrimp, in the future, can be used to flavor broths.
4
To boil 1 kilogram of shrimp, prepare a large five-liter pot and pour it in 4 liters of water. Put 4 tablespoons of sea salt and bring water to a boil. Put in boiling water shrimp, cover pot and reduce heat. Cook shrimp 3 to 6 minutes, depending on their size. Time need to measure from the moment the water will boil again.
5
Prepare a large bowl with cold water and ice and a colander. Once the shrimp are ready, will surface and become opaque in all the visible places, pour them through a colander and place in a bowl with ice water. Hold them there for a few seconds and drain again.
6
Clean the shrimp. Place the heads and peel in a pot of boiling olive oil and soak a few minutes on high heat. Gently pour the water and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Drain through a colander, place in an airtight container, refrigerate and store in the freezer. Use to flavor soups and Oriental dishes.
