HOW TO BOOK FROZEN SHRIMPS

Delicate fragrant shrimps are loved by everyone, without exception. The benefits of shrimp can hardly be overestimated. Shrimp meat contains a lot of easily digestible protein, a high concentration of Omega-3,6 acids, due to the content of "good" high-density cholesterol, shrimp fat is absolutely harmless to the body. Sea crustaceans contain many valuable vitamins, macro- and microelements, as well as various bioactive substances, for example, the antioxidant astaxanthin, and a high concentration of iodine allows the product to become a leader among other seafood.

Ingredients

• Shrimps 1 kg
• Water 2 l
• Cooking salt 90 gr
• Bay leaf 2 pcs.
• Dill 2 gr
• Allspice 3 pcs.
• Carnation 3 pcs.
• Pepper peas 15 pcs.
• Lemons 0.5 pcs.
• Onion 1 pc.

Directions

1. That's the whole simple set of ingredients that will be required to cook shrimp. The shrimps, of course, must be of high quality, fresh, about the same size, whole, the ice shell must not be thick, otherwise, during the defrosting process, our shrimps will greatly lose weight and we will give money only for water. Usually on sale shrimps are already pre-boiled, so we will cook them pretty quickly
2. Step 2. First of all, in a fairly capacious pot of water, put on fire (the ratio of shrimp to water is at least 1: 2), and at this time we get rid of the ice coat. It is very common for shrimp to be sent directly to the pot with ice, but this is a common mistake. To do this very quickly, simply by rinsing them with a stream of warm water - this way we will get rid of excess dirt, broken antennae and legs, as well as unnecessary ice
3. Step 3. When the water boils, put the onion cut into 4 parts, it will give a characteristic aroma
4. Step 4. Add salt - do not be alarmed, we will need quite a lot of it - for 1 liter of water we need 40-45 g of salt, if we cook peeled frozen shrimp, the amount of salt should be halved
5. Step 5. Add a couple of bay leaves
6. Step 6. Add other dry spices - cloves, allspice and black peppercorns, here they will be very useful. Here we put an umbrella of dried dill or fresh herbs - and so, and so it will be very fragrant. The set of spices is rather arbitrary, you can use the ones I suggested, or you can add, for example, garlic, a special set of spices for seafood, or other spices to taste
7. Step 7. Bring the water with spices and salt to a boil, then add the shrimp. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil again and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, the crustacean meat is very tender, so this time will be enough. If you have unprocessed shrimps, which differ in a gray-green tint, cook them for 6-7 minutes
8. Step 8. If desired, immediately peel the shrimp and pour it with lemon juice. But few people know that if you consume shrimp with shell particles, the chitosan included in their composition "expels" the "bad" cholesterol already accumulated in the blood, helps fight obesity
9. Step 9. Bon appetit!
