Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 1- 1 Tbsp garlic salt (I use Lawry's brand)
- 1.15 lbs raw shrimp shell-on (equals about 1 lb after it's cooked)
- 8 cups filtered water
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1-2 bay leaves
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Depending on how you are serving your shrimp, you can leave the shells on or off. I peel and devein first and keep the shells for the shrimp boil.
- Step 2
Place the shells from the shrimp in a large sauce pan along with 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and bay leaf. Add 8 cups water and bring to a boil over med/high heat.
- Step 3
Once water boils, add the peeled and deveined shrimp and simmer until pink, about 2-3 minutes depending on size of the shrimp. Drain and transfer cooked shrimp to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and let cool.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
