Ingredients

  • 1 kg package of frozen shrimps,
  • black/white peppercorns and salt to your taste
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • fresh parsley
  • lemon juice

Instructions

  • You need to defrost frozen precooked shrimps, use cold running water for this purpose.
  • While you have your shrimps thawing, put a pot with cold water on high heat and let the water boil. You need to use twice as much water as you have shrimp.
  • When water boils, add salt and any seasoning or herbs you want (black or white pepper, bay leaves, fresh parsley, etc.) and lemon juice (squeezed out of half of a lemon).
  • Add defrosted shrimps and boil them for a minute or two. Now you can serve these flavored, juicy shrimps with a sauce you like.
