Marinated Grilled Shrimp [recipe] (http://mybakingaddiction.com/marinated-grilled-shrimp-recipe)

Techniques you'll practice: Grilling, Marinating, Deveining, Shrimp

Before you cook:

  • Should I buy shrimp with the shell on or off?

    If you are super new to cooking, you can lessen your workload by buying shrimp with the shell off. This will almost definitely mean your shrimp are deveined as well. Personally, I would suggest buying shrimp with the shell on so you can practice deveining shrimp yourself (see below for tips) and also try cooking 1/2 with the shell on and 1/2 with the shell off to see if there's a taste difference.

  • Beware / Notice

    Shrimp cooks pretty quickly. Check to see the color change. You should notice it change from being fairly see through to opaque, like you would imagine a piece of meat. Also, notice shrimp become more firm as you cook them. Notice the color change and physically feel the shrimp right before you decide to flip them. As a rule of thumb, 2-3 minutes per side should be enough. Remember: the longer you cook shrimp, the tougher it gets.

    Tips from the pros on deveining

    Plating: If you grilled the shrimp on a skewer, you can make a nice presentation by leaving the shrimp on the skewer and placing them on a rectangular plate. Serve with either individual plates of salsa or one large bowl of salsa for everyone. If you don't have rectangular plates, try arranging all of the shrimp together facing the same direction around the edge of the plate. Fill the empty space in the middle of the plate with salsa which will be used for dipping.

    Leftovers: 2 days. Shrimp goes bad pretty quickly when not frozen. Eat these quick!

    Did you know?:

  • Why are my shrimp heads missing?

    Shrimp degrades extremely quickly, with the head being the first to look inedible. So, the head is usually removed unless you can find fresh shrimp where you live.

  • The difference between shrimp and prawns?

    There are none. Different areas of the world refer to "shrimp" as "prawns" and vice versa.

  • Does cooking shrimp with the shell on make a difference in flavor?

    Most people believe that cooking shrimp with the shell on helps encapsulate juices and enhances the flavor of the shrimp while you cook it. I'd suggest leaving the shell on and practicing deveining the shrimp yourself!

    Corn Cakes & Avocado Salsa recipe

    Techniques: Pan Frying, Corn

    Before you cook:

  • What kind of oil should I use to pan fry?

    You should use something with a high smoke point, so you don't burn the oil. You can use regular vegetable, canola, grapeseed, or even peanut oil.

    Plating: If you want to spice up the presentation a bit, try using a mold to keep all of your corn cakes uniform with some height, too!

    Leftovers: I had these in my fridge for about 3 days and just threw them in with a salad with lean protein.
