Notes
Pro Tips
Use a large skillet. Use a large enough skillet that the shrimp will be in a single layer. This makes it easier to know when they are done especially because they cook so quickly.
Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook in just a few minutes. For the best flavor and texture do not overcook them.
Use tongs. It's easier to turn the shrimp over individually with tongs than with a spatula. This will ensure the shrimp cooks evenly.
