Hundreds of articles have been written about the benefits of seafood for the human body. And shrimp are no exception. Those who adhere to proper nutrition or diet pay special attention to this product. After all, shrimp is a storehouse of low-calorie protein. In addition, these crustaceans contain a considerable range of vitamins and microelements. Therefore, such seafood will be an ideal component for many dishes. Shrimp can be boiled, stewed, fried, baked. There are a lot of cooking recipes. But today we will talk about how to fry delicious shrimp in soy sauce and garlic.

Will need

• First you need to decide on the necessary ingredients:

• - 1 kg of frozen shrimp (they, of course, need to be defrosted naturally before cooking);
  
• - soy sauce;
  
• - 2 cloves of garlic;
  
• - half a lemon.

Cooking shrimp

Thawed shrimp must be cleaned of their heads and shells. Some people like to fry unpeeled shrimp and then peel them during tasting. But in this case, most of the marinade will be absorbed into the shell and other waste, without properly saturating the shrimp meat itself.Therefore, in this recipe, the shrimp will be peeled before frying.

Next, you need to pour a little vegetable oil into the frying pan and fry the garlic, previously cut into slices.


When the garlic releases its aroma into the oil, it must be removed from the pan. Instead of garlic, add shrimp for frying.

Now it's time for soy sauce. It is necessary to generously season the shrimp with it.

You can add bay leaf, it will add flavor to the dish.
Simmer the shrimp in soy sauce until tender for literally 3-5 minutes. The main thing is not to overcook the shrimp on the stove, otherwise they will taste rubbery.

Serve fried shrimp with lemon. Because before tasting, seafood needs to be generously sprinkled with lemon juice.

In my opinion, this recipe is much faster, healthier and definitely much tastier than the classic one. Bon appetit!
