Seafood is one of the most important food sources in terms of the Omega-3 fatty acids it contains to strengthen the immune system. In addition, Omega-3 fatty acids are found only in fish in nature after breast milk.

Shrimp, which is rich in vitamin D and selenium in these days when we cannot leave the house and see the sun, is an effortless seafood that is cooked quickly. Although it is usually cooked in a pan, it is also suitable for cooking in the oven and large sizes on the grill. In this recipe, we cook it in a pan with butter, lemon and garlic aroma.

How Long Does Shrimp Cook?

Shrimp is a seafood product famous for its fast cooking. If you are going to use large size jumbo shrimp, keep a maximum of 3 minutes for each side of the cooking time. If you are using small size grass, 1-2 minutes is enough for cooking. If you cook too long, it will be like rubber.

We use 2 lemons in this recipe that you can cook in a large pan over medium heat. You can slice one and use the juice of half of the other. If it’s a little juicy lemon, you can use it whole.

Notes

Since shrimp is a fast-cooking seafood, it cooks in a few minutes. If you cook it for a long time, it will become rubbery. You’ll know it’s cooked when it starts to turn slightly pink. In the recipe, Jumbo shrimp is cooked in about 3 minutes on each side. However, if you use small grass shrimp, it is enough to keep it for 1-2 minutes.
