How do you cook shrimp?

Answer by  Babs29 (20)

It sounds like you are new to this, so I recommend starting with the pre-cooked variety. Thaw the shrimp in the fridge or in a bowl of cold water. When cooking, add the shrimp at the last minute. They cook quickly and are done when they curl into a crescent shape. Do not overcook the shrimp, they will become rubbery.

Most shrimp cook within three minutes. The easiest way to tell is color change. When pink they are done. Shrimp can be cooked many ways. Remember Forrest Gump?
