Perfect Sautéed Shrimp and Mistakes to Avoid


Shrimp is low in calories and saturated fat, hight in protein and in flavor. Like most seafood, stir-fry or sautéed shrimp in skillet is super simple to make.
Let's start by seasoning the shrimp, have the shrimp in a medium bowl , add garlic cloves finely minced or garlic powder, fresh black pepper and extra virgin olive oil.

*1st Tip: DO NOT add salt when you are seasoning because the salt dehydrates the fragile meat, also it will holds water in the pan and will not be juicy.


Instructions:
-Heat Olive Oil or Butter in a large skillet over medium high heat for 45 seconds.
-Carefully place the seasoned shrimp in skillet. If raw shrimp sauté until shrimp begin to turn pink, it takes about 5 minutes; if pre-cooked, large shrimp takes 3 to 4 minutes, medium 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes, and small 2 to 2 1/2 each side
- Lower the heat and add parsley and add sea salt.

*2nd Tip: If the skillet is not well heated, the shrimp will runs water and it can become rubbery.
