ADDITIONAL TIPS

• Wonder why the water turns white when you boil shrimp? Don't worry! It doesn't mean the shrimp have gone bad. It is denatured protein, meaning the heat has caused the protein molecules to change their structure. This can also happen with crab, fish, lobster, even chicken. Although it doesn't happen all the time, it can depend on the shrimp and how fast the water came to a boil. Simply rinse and enjoy!

• When pan searing, cook skin side down first (if applicable) and apply light pressure with a spatula to prevent the skin from curling.
