This dish features a collection of cooked shrimp, prepared in a simple yet classic way that keeps the essence of the seafood at its forefront. The shrimp are cooked whole, with their shells, heads, tails, and legs still attached, showcasing their natural pinkish-orange hue typical after being boiled or steamed. After cooking, the shrimp are promptly drained, presented without any additional seasonings or garnishes to highlight their pure flavor. This method of preparation is versatile and respected in many culinary traditions, making the shrimp an excellent choice for numerous dishes, from salads and pastas to a protein topping for a variety of meals. However, I've indulged in half of this delightful offering, leaving a lesser quantity for further culinary uses or serving.

Basic Cooked Shrimp
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. 2. Add the whole shrimp (shells, heads, tails, and legs attached) to the boiling water. 3. Boil or steam the shrimp until they turn a pinkish-orange color, indicating they are fully cooked. This should take about 2-3 minutes. 4. Once cooked, promptly remove the shrimp from the pot and drain them in a colander. 5. Serve the shrimp as is, or use them as an ingredient in various dishes such as salads, pastas, or as a protein topping.
⭐️ Nutrition facts:
Shrimp is a great source of protein and contains important nutrients like iodine, which is vital for proper thyroid function and overall health. It's also high in antioxidants. However, consuming shrimp with its shell can provide additional texture and flavor, though it's not commonly consumed in all culinary traditions.
