 At 5 minutes, flip every shrimp

Yep… every last one of them

My shrimp weren’t jumbo, so they were cooked through at 10 minutes

What’s the difference between jumbo and extra large shrimp???

Jumbo shrimp are designated as “U/25.” This means you’re getting less than 25 shrimp per pound. Meanwhile, extra large shrimp are designated as “26/30, ” which means you’re getting between 26-30 shrimp per pound.  However, either size will work fine for this recipe, you’ll just have to monitor the cooking time

If you have big ol’ chubby shrimp, good for you!

But you’ll want to cook them an additional minute or two

The basic rule of thumb for cooking shrimp is that they should be opaque and firm
Take one out and try it

  You’re the cook!

You deserve an extra shrimp

YUM!

Now let’s talk about the end product

What you have here is a tray of shrimp that will lend itself wonderfully to an appetizer table

Or serve next to some crusty bread, or serve over your favorite pasta

To sum it up, it’s your choice.  No matter what, it’ll taste great

We pinky promise!
