Cooking shrimp is something I do all year long, but in the summer it feels extra “right” to be preparing and enjoying this little crustacean. Unfortunately, so many of my friends don’t enjoy this delicacy as they should because they are not sure what to do with it. There are a few important steps to master in cooking shrimp and then it is a relatively simple ingredient to use in all types of preparations. As you read this article, I’ll explain my best tips for choosing shrimp, cleaning shrimp and preparing both frozen and fresh shrimp for excellent summer dishes that everyone will love. From simple suppers at home to easy potluck to impress, shrimp is a great addition to any meal! Best of all – cooking shrimp is fast, which means you won’t have to spend all summer in the kitchen!

Hi! I love your recipes. They are very creative, clear and informative. I especially like the ones made with delicacies, and this brings me to my question. I buy caviar regularly, and I am having trouble finding interesting recipes to prepare using it. If your look at the kind I am regularly using, could you recommend a recipe? (I like both red and black caviar)
