Cooking Shrimp

SV Shrimp Farm, LLC shrimp are easy to cook, but they are also easy to OVERCOOK!

• Boiled: drop them in already boiling water until one or two shrimp float to the top; then remove them all.  Usually less than five minutes.
• Grilled or Sauteed: 2-3 minutes per side

Remember: it is not necessary to devein our shrimp as they are grown in clean tanks!
