Fried king prawns are delicious both hot and cold. You can serve with a glass of semi-dry wine.

How do I fry king prawns in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Instead of shallots, you can take the usual bulb, small size. But instead of lemon, lime will go well - it will give the dish a special aroma.

Defrost the king shrimp at room temperature and clean them (remove the chitinous shell, heads and tails). Then rinse the shrimp meat well, make an incision on the back of each shrimp and remove the vena cava.

Peel and finely chop the garlic.

Peel and slice the onions as finely as possible.

Add vegetable and butter to the pan - this is necessary in order to prevent the burning of butter. Send the garlic and onions there. Also, do not forget about herbs. They can be used by any of their own preferences. Dill (dill umbrellas), rosemary or thyme combine very well with shrimp.

Place the pan over a heat and put out the onion and garlic over a medium heat, stirring continuously. When they become slightly transparent, make the fire to the maximum.

Immediately add the shrimp and soy sauce to the pan. You can use a small pinch of salt instead of soy sauce, but, for my taste, the sauce gives the dish a savoury aroma.

With constant stirring, fry the shrimp over a high heat until the soy sauce has evaporated. Shrimp should turn red and curl into rings. Drizzle them with lemon or lime juice, stir. The main thing in this step is to remove the shrimp from the pan in time, since with a long heat treatment, the shrimp meat will become rubber and tough.

Remove the ready-made shrimp from the pan, place in a plate, drizzle the lemon or lime juice over the top again. Sprinkle with allspice, if desired. Garnish with a slice of citrus and herbs. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

Any oil is useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoke at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Important! An improperly selected frying pan can spoil even the nicest recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect pan for different dishes read here.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then consider that there are spices that are especially important not to shift (for example, chili peppers).
