Now that your shrimp are thawed, it's time to get them ready for their close-up. You're going to want to rinse them under cold water, and then pat them dry with a paper towel. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're talking to a plate of shrimp - it's our little secret.
Next up, you're going to want to heat up a skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Yes, it's time to bring out the big guns - or at least, a decent-sized pan. Throw in a tablespoon or two of oil, and then it's time to add your shrimp. Now, here's the part where I tell you to not overcook them, because let's face it, overcooked shrimp are like eating leather.
So, how long do you cook them? Well, that's the million-dollar question. The answer is, it depends on the size of your shrimp. If they're small, you're looking at about 2-3 minutes per side. If they're larger, you're looking at more like 4-5 minutes per side. And if they're jumbo, well, you might need to add a few more minutes - but let's be real, who can afford jumbo shrimp?
