All About Shrimp

Shrimp come in seven sizes: colossal, jumbo, extra-large, large, medium, small, and mini or bay shrimp.

When buying shrimp, look for raw shrimp that are firm, moist, and translucent. They should smell like the sea, not like ammonia. If you have to deshell and devein your shrimp, slice down the back and then remove the shell, tail, and inner intestine. (The intestine looks like a little brown string.) Wash the shrimp thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel. If you're boiling your shrimp, boil them until they are pink all the way through. The average size shrimp takes about 10 minutes to cook.
