How to cook frozen unrefined shrimp in a saucepan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Properly boiled seafood has a rich taste and appetising aroma. The smell and color are significantly affected by the amount of salt and spices with which the product is cooked. You can, of course, boil without additives, but the taste will be quite fresh.

Put a pot of water on the heat. Shrimp to water ratio should be at least 1: 2. While the water is boiling, rinse the shrimp under warm water to get rid of ice, as well as excess dirt, broken antennae and legs.

Seafood does not absorb salt well, so it needs to be put more. The recommended amount of salt per 1 liter of water is 40-45 grams. For purified shrimp, the amount of salt should be halved.

Add sprigs of parsley and dill to boiling water, dried greens can also be used, in which case the aroma will turn out to be slightly different.

Add a bay leaf.

Put other dry spices - allspice and black peppercorns, here they will be very useful. The spice set is quite conventional, you can use the ones I suggested, or you can add cloves, garlic, onions, a special set of seafood spices or other spices to taste.

Put the prepared shrimp in a saucepan. Boil ordinary shrimp for 2-3 minutes after boiling, tiger - 5-7 minutes. It will take 7-10 minutes for the royal prawns.

In order to make shrimp easier to clean, rinse them under a stream of cold water.

Pour lemon juice over the shrimp before serving. Enjoy your meal!
