How to select and clean shrimp

Sea creatures give the dish a special aroma and delicious taste. The main thing is to choose quality products for cooking and process them correctly.

To choose the right shrimp, you need to carefully examine the product. Usually this is not difficult, they are sold in transparent packaging or by weight. There should be no pieces of ice or snow in the bag. Let's assume a light coating of ice on each individual. The shrimp should not stick to each other. You should definitely pay attention to the integrity of the carcasses; the legs and tail should be clearly defined.

Shrimp can be purchased peeled, ready to eat. This is the simplest option when you don’t need to bother with cleaning and heat treatment.

If you had to buy unpeeled shrimp, then you will have to deal with them closely. Two cleaning methods can be used:

• first boil and then remove the shell;
• completely gut and clean, and then cook.

Both raw and boiled shrimp can be cleaned in one universal way.

1. Using sharp scissors, cut the shell along the back, holding the shrimp by the abdomen.
2. It is easier to remove the tough shell from shrimp meat if you start from the head. The shell plates must be removed one by one, right down to the tail.
3. Along the back of the shrimp there is a dark intestinal vein. It should be removed by making an incision in the carcass.
4. If the product still needs to be boiled, then it is better to leave the head, so the meat will be more flavorful. But you can remove the heads and legs immediately.
5. After complete cleaning, the shrimp should be rinsed with cold water. If there are any films left on the meat, you should pour boiling water over the carcasses and then rinse them again.

Experienced chefs recommend immediately after defrosting the shrimp, sprinkle them generously with salt and leave for a minute. After this, rinse with cold water and begin cleaning. It is believed that salt preserves the taste and shape of the product.

Shrimp pasta in creamy sauce is one of my signature dishes. I first tried the recipe about 12 years ago and since then I have always amazed the imagination of both guests and loved ones who just can’t get used to the fact that such shrimp paste can be prepared at home, rather than going to the Italian restaurant and don’t leave crazy amounts of money there for a portion. In a mid-range restaurant, a plate of such pasta will cost 550-600 rubles. You and I will spend no more than 250 for a whole pan - that’s four very large servings. But there is never too much of this kind of pasta. So, budget dish, minimum labor costs, authentic taste. Even if you don’t have parmesan on hand, it will be amazingly delicious without it. You don't have to sprinkle cheese at all. The taste will be creamy and there will be a feeling that there were a lot of shrimp. To ensure everything works out, don't skip or replace ingredients. And don’t deviate from the cooking technology. If it says that fried garlic should be thrown away, throw it away with a clear conscience. After trying this paste, you will agree that yes, this is exactly how everything should have been done.

• Unpeeled shrimp – 450 grams,
• Cream 20% - 120 ml (about half a glass),
• Fresh lemon (freshly squeezed juice) – 1.5 teaspoons,
• Garlic – 1 clove,
• Unscented vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons,

How to cook shrimp pasta in creamy sauce

As you can see, there are not so many products. To say the least, very little. Pasta, shrimp and three main ingredients for the cream sauce (cream, lemon, garlic). No way without garlic! You can't achieve the taste you're looking for with anything else. It is felt not so naturally garlicky in the finished dish, but rather as a balancing note that creates an authentic flavor bouquet.

1. Cook the pasta.

Let's get started. Place a larger pan on the stove. Pour it in clean water and bring to a boil.

Throw in salt (I take a whole teaspoon). Add pasta. If you have nests like mine, you will need to scrub them in boiling water to prevent them from sticking together.

We mark the time - 8 minutes. Cook without a lid at a good vigorous boil. The pasta should remain a little undercooked, at the aldente stage, because then it will still absorb moisture from the sauce and if it is overcooked, it can turn into an incomprehensible mess.

2. Fry the shrimp.

While our pasta is cooking, let's make shrimp. I have them boiled and frozen, so there is no need to cook them anymore. Fry too, but we will heat them in warm oil for a couple of minutes so that they are saturated with the aroma we need. So you just need to defrost them - in cold water, For example. And clean it.

Next, take a frying pan. Pour vegetable oil into it. I always use oil from grape seeds. It has neither smell nor taste. And you don’t have to worry about its quality - it is rarely counterfeited, unlike olive oil. We will fry the garlic in this oil. Cut half a clove into slices and keep it in a frying pan until it turns slightly golden. Immediately remove it from the oil. You can already feel the subtle, very noble aroma that the garlic gave to the oil (if you overcook it to dark brown, the aroma will become unpleasant).

Then put the shrimp in the oil and fry them, stirring lightly, for a couple of minutes until they curl into rings.

3. Prepare cream sauce.

Sauce. The simplest! Pour the cream into a bowl. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix. At first, the cream will curdle into lumps, but after half a minute it will turn into a smooth, shiny sauce, the consistency of sour cream (but not the taste!).

Grind the remaining half clove of garlic on a fine grater and mix it into the sauce. All. We did it magic mixture, turning ordinary pasta into an impossible meal.

Our pasta is already cooked. We take them out of the boiling water - I have special tongs for this. Pour out the water from the pan and return the pasta. Fill them with creamy sauce.

Mix. Already good, right?

Add fried shrimp.

Mix again. The dish is ready! When serving, sprinkle with Parmesan or just a pinch of dried herbs.

Shrimp pasta: how to cook

shrimp are widespread, as they live in most seas, oceans and rivers, regardless of climatic conditions. This may be why shrimp recipes are so popular.
