Boil, broil, bake, sautee, grill or steam for about 10 minutes. It doesn't take very long, just long enough for them to turn nice and pink all the way through. If you cook too long, they get really rubbery (or burnt!). If you buy them frozen and already cooked all you have to do is thaw them for use in salads or in cold dishes. Otherwise a quick dip in hot water will warm them up and you can use them as desired in dishes. Boil in water with some shrimp boil (a spice mix you can buy in the store). You can be pretty creative with the water and add white wine or lemon juice to give it a touch of additional flavor. Broil under the broiler after brushing with olive oil and sprinkling with garlic, salt and pepper. Bake them in a small casserole dish with lots of butter and garlic. Toss them in a frying pan or wok with a touch of oil and any other flavors, including chili paste, garlic, salt and pepper and other flavors. Skewer them and toss on the barbee. Flavor as desired. Steam over water, white wine, beer or other aromatics.

∙ 10y agoArguably the best way to cook prawns is to roast them, which caramelizes them and brings out the sweet flavor. They can also be cooked in the same way shrimp are cooked; steamed, fried, boiled, etc. They are just large shrimp for cooking purposes.

Can you cook raw shrimp and raw chicken together?
That would not be a good idea. If you start the chicken first and get it almost completely cooked and then add the shrimp, you would be okay. If you start them at the same time, the shrimp will be terrible overdone and rubbery. If you pull the shrimp out as soon as it is done, it will be contaminated by the still raw chicken.

You confused raw shrimp for boiled shrimp and ate it and actually enjoyed it Will something make you sick or could that have been your first taste of sushi?
Cooked shrimp is pink, raw shrimp is translucent. No, you did not have sushi. Sushi is a type of rice that is prepared with a touch of sugar and vinegar. It is often served with various types of vegetables and fish (cooked and raw) to add flavor to it. Raw fish by itself is called sashimi. You are not likely to get sick, but even the Japanese don't serve raw shrimp, they cook it.

How do you cook frozen breaded shrimp?
If it were me I'd use unfrozen, raw shrimp...it only takes a few minutes to cook through. When I want to cook thawed, pre-cooked shrimp in a frying pan however I make sure it's totally thawed and I also pat it dry. I make sure my pan and whatever I've got in there is up to temp, toss in the shrimp and stir. Not too much liquid, depending on what you're making, or it will just steam/simmer. You've got to be really careful with this though since the shrimp will get super tough and rubbery if cooked too long. Raw shrimp is definitely better-it turns from grey to pink and is nice and juicy and not too tough.
