cause they want to
(wrong)
the pressure of warm watter makes them and as shrimp are too gentle a creature it lets it happen
Simmer the shrimp until they appear white instead of translucent. When shrimp is raw it is sort of floppy and appears to be in the shape of a comma. When fully cooked they will shrink up a bit and form a tight firm curl.
when prawns are cooked, they start off being grey. They get pinker and pinker but if they are overcooked, they get tough and curl up. Prawns curl because they have been overcooked. You should stop cooking a prawn just before the curl or when they are very pink.
Sure... but it will more then likely be over cooked. Shrimp does not take long to cook. Your shrimps texture may be a little tough. But YES, you can fry pre-cooked shrimp.
Yes they curl, and they probably react with the heat while cooking. And they curl just as a cooked taco :). If anyone has a better answer please be free to change this. :)
Yes. On ice is preferred for up to four days.
Shrimp cocktail is not cooked, though the shrimps will be par boiled and cleaned before you add your sauce
no
The recommended amount of shrimp per person is 1 pound of raw shrimp or 1.2 pound of cooked. For 60 people you would need 60 pounds of raw or 30 pounds of cooked shrimp.
Actually, you aren't supposed to cook food then freeze it again. It will say on the packet that you got it from.
It's not a good idea. Shrimp don't have much of a shelf life anyway and they will probably turn mushy.
yes
