Top Tips
- Pat the shrimp dry so the coating crisps instead of steaming.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket so the shrimp cook evenly.
- Flip or shake halfway through for even browning.
- If the recipe calls for raw shrimp, be sure to use raw and not cooked shrimp. If you use shrimp that are already cooked, the texture and flavor will be off.
- Buy bigger shrimp. Bigger shrimp taste less "shrimpy" and have a better texture.
