How to Tell if Shrimp is Done Cooking?

It can be pretty nerve-racking not knowing if your shrimp get cooked. My easy trick on how to tell if your shrimp get done is by the color. For instance, typical prawns are typically a white-grey color when raw, but as they cook, the meat turned to a white-pink color with some accents of red in the shrimp tails.

Another way to tell if a shrimp gets cooked is by the muscle contracting. The shrimp should be curled up and shrinks in size slightly.

Roasted Vegetables

This recipe doesn’t just work for succulent shrimp, but it can also work for roasting, vegetables too. You can always swap the bell pepper, tomatoes and asparagus used in this sheet pan recipe for some of your favorite low-carb vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, brussels sprouts, green beans or even use red onion.

How to Devein Shrimp

Below is a step-by-step guide as to how you can devein your shrimp efficiently.
1. Remove shrimp shell
2. Grab a small sharp knife and cut a shallow cut into the back of the shrimp. You’ll find the backside of the shrimp has a prominent dark vein along it.
3. Open up the incision you have made and with the tip of your knife, pick out the vein gently with your finger on it for stability.
This method should take a minute or so to accomplish when first beginning but is easily adapted.

If you are working with frozen shrimp, of course, let them thaw in the refrigerator before baking or place them in a cold water bath for 20-30 minutes to help the frozen shrimp thaw.

Tails On or Off
