FAQ
Shrimp become stringy when overcooked because of their high protein content. The secret to preventing that is high heat and avoiding overcooking them. On the stovetop, you'd want to sear them on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. In the oven, about 8 minutes in a 400°F oven is all they need.
- Add 1 quart of water and the salt to a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the shrimp, cover, and remove the pot from heat. Let sit for 5 to 8 minutes, until all the shrimp are cooked through to a bright pink shade.
- Drain through a colander. Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl or platter.
Shrimp can be a nutritious choice, but it often comes down to preparation. Like other proteins, if shrimp are battered and fried or swimming in a pool of butter, they might do more harm than good for your health. However, shrimp that have been grilled, poached, steamed or baked are often a healthier choice.
To make it easier, brine raw shrimp in a slushy solution of sea salt and baking soda. Alkaline baking soda slightly alters the pH of the shrimp, making them as plump and succulent as lobster and resistant to overcooking.
