Is it better to boil or saute shrimp?
Shrimp cook really quickly, which is partially why they are so often over or undercooked. You can cook shrimp on a lower heat for a longer period of time, but for the best result, we like to sear or sauté shrimp on high heat. It gives them the best texture, juicy and tender, without any stringy chewiness.
Do you cook shrimp with the shell on?
You can cook shrimp with the shell on or off. If you want to peel off the shell, start by pulling off the legs and the shell can easily slip off. You can leave the shell on the tail or remove it, depending on your recipe.
