Notes
*This recipe is for large shrimp. If using jumbo, you may need to cook longer. If using smaller, you will not have to cook as long. Check after 3 minutes and keep cooking until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
WHY SO MUCH SODIUM?
I get this question a lot with seafood recipes. Shrimp live in
salt water, making them naturally high in sodium
. Feel free to remove the added salt to the recipe if desired.
