How To Cook Shrimp In A Frying Pan
Add a bit of cooking oil to a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and leftover marinade to the pan. Cook until shrimp turns pink and opaque on one side and then flip over to cook the other side (about 1-2 mins each side). Remove shrimp from pan immediately (to avoid over cooking).
How To Air Fry Shrimp:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the air fryer basket in a single layer (careful as the basket will be hot!). Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp has turned pink and opaque. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
How To Bake Shrimp:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle any leftover marinade overtop. Bake until shrimp is pink and opaque, about 5-8 minutes. Flip halfway through.
How To Barbecue Shrimp:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Add shrimp to skewers or a grill pan. Shrimp can be cooked 1-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink. Flip them halfway through.
Recipe Notes:
These marinade servings will work for 1 lb of peeled and deveined raw shrimp. You can always cook more shrimp – just double the marinade recipe.
Shrimp requires only 10-15 minutes marinating time to get the full flavor that you need. In fact, if you let the marinade sit too long it can actually start to cook the shrimp if it contains lemon juice or something else acidic.
Do not use frozen shrimp or cooked shrimp for best results.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight glass container in the fridge up to 3-4 days.
