Tips:
1. If you are picking up Shrimps from the shelves of the store, opt for RAW shrimps rather COOKED, as the raw shrimps are more flavorful.
2. While adding salt to shrimp add lesser quantity than usual, as shrimps already tastes little but saltier.
3. Never overcook Shrimps. As it will be harder and also it losses it taste, when it is over cooked.
4. Always devein the shrimps to avoid indigestion and food adulteration.
