Heat the pan well, that is, ignite. Pour vegetable oil, the main thing is not to overheat it, otherwise the shrimp will burn instantly. Throw in thawed shrimp and fry for 2-3 minutes.

To fully reveal the taste of seafood, you can add 3-4 cloves of garlic, black pepper and salt to the pan.

Do not be afraid to overdo it, during frying the shrimp will absorb these ingredients, and if you don’t like the taste, just blot them with a damp cloth.

If you are using boiled-frozen large shrimp, thaw them first and then quickly fry them in oil. Fresh shrimp should be fried until they turn pink.
