Important! To make the appetizer tasty and healthy, you should carefully choose seafood in the store. The shell should be evenly coated with icing, and the presence of snow in the packaging indicates that this product was thawed. The shrimp themselves should be ring-shaped, and the more they are bent, the more fresh the product is in front of you. If the shell is pale and stained, then the seafood was stored in violation of the thermal regime. The black head indicates that it is a sick individual, brown - the shrimp was with caviar, and its meat is the most nutritious, and the green color indicates the presence of a certain type of plankton in the diet, and such a product can be taken.

Step cooking

A day before the start of cooking, we place 500 g of frozen king prawns in a deep container and put on the lower shelf of the refrigerator so that they unfreeze.
Pour 2 liters of water into a 5-liter pan, put on a large fire and wait for the liquid to warm up.
We peel 1 onion from the husk and make a longitudinal and transverse deep incision on it. We wash 1 bunch of dill under running water and slightly dry it.
When the water warms up, add 3 tbsp. l salt, 9 peas of allspice black pepper, 2 bay leaves, a bunch of dill, cut onion and wait for the water to boil.
When the liquid boils, put king prawns in a pan and cook them for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When it takes 7-8 minutes, we get the shrimp with a slotted spoon, put them on a dish and serve.
