Properly cooked shrimp go great with all dark and light beers. This is a simple, tasty, nutritious and harmless snack. We will look at a universal recipe for fried shrimp, in a quick variation of which you can do without peeling the shells and marinating (takes 25-30 minutes). Thanks to this, it will take 10-15 minutes to cook after removing the crustaceans from the refrigerator in frozen form.
Use large and medium sized shrimp. It is better to cook small specimens so that more meat remains. Olive oil is ideal for frying, but it can be replaced with refined sunflower oil.
Ingredients:
- Shrimp – 1 kg;
- vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) – 3-4 tablespoons;
- lemon – 1 piece;
- dill – 1 bunch;
- garlic – 1 clove (optional);
- ground pepper – to taste;
- salt – to taste.
fried shrimp recipe for beer
1. Pour boiling water over frozen shrimp, cover, leave for 3-4 minutes. Then recline in a colander (4-5 minutes) to glass the water. Scalding with boiling water does not affect the taste in any way and, in addition to quick defrosting, reduces the frying time.
2. If time is not running out, it is better to make pickling. To do this, peel the shrimp from shells and put in a pan. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, pepper, squeezed garlic and chopped dill. Stir, cover, leave for 25-30 minutes for impregnation.
For quick cooking, skip this step.
3. Heat up a frying pan with vegetable oil. Lay out the shrimp (preferably in one layer).
If pickling was not done, add finely chopped lemon with zest, salt, pepper, squeezed garlic.
Fry over high heat, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes until cooked (shrimp meat will turn red).
For a recipe without pickling, sprinkle with herbs 1-2 minutes before removing from heat.
4. Put the finished shrimp on a plate and let cool. Serve slightly warm or cold with beer.
