What Kind of Shrimp is Best to Use?
It is better to use jumbo size (larger) shrimp that are available in the market. No doubt their price is a little higher. It gives a better taste. There are different kinds of shrimps available in the market. The red and white shrimps, both go well with this honey garlic shrimp recipe.
Check if the larger shrimp are deveined. If they are not deveined then is better to devein them before cooking. This is shrimp's intestinal/digestive tract and is better to devein the larger shrimp.
How Do You Know If Shrimp is Cooked
Mostly the shrimp cooks faster and it is better to remove them as soon as they start changing color to pink and begin to curl. Shrimps once they are cooked the exterior color starts to change to pink with C shape.
If it is undercooked it remains more straight or open shape and if it overcooked it starts becoming O shape. And if it is overcooked it becomes rubbery.
