- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Run frozen shrimp under cool water to defrost completely. Lay shrimp on a paper towel lined plate and pat dry with paper towels.

Notes
- This recipe is for large shrimp. If using jumbo, you may need to cook longer. If using smaller, you will not have to cook as long. Check after 3 minutes and keep cooking until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Why so much sodium? I get this question a lot with seafood recipes. Shrimp live in salt water, making them naturally high in sodium. Feel free to remove the added salt to the recipe if desired.
