Cooked shrimp with a simple twist

  Cooked shrimp with a simple twist In my opinion sometimes, we make a simple meal and it becomes the most delicious one you’ve cooked! Today’s recipe is just like that. It is easy, fast and simple but definitely, delicious. It is perfect when you have no time    but you want a high protein meal especially during the hot weather of summer when nobody wants to spend time in the kitchen. In that case, just take out the frozen shrimp from the freezer and add a new twist to them by using the following few ingredients that will make them flavourful and delicious!! While preparing, you have to take care of couple of things . 1-Because these shrimp are cooked, to avoid overcooking them you should keep a close eye on it . 2- After washing them under the cold water, you must dry them because if there is too much moisture it will steam rather than fry.  3-During the cooking stir continuously. I prefer to buy frozen cooked shrimp because it can be kept for longer period of time...
