so when you cook shrimp in a pan should you use butter or oil or what?

Use spit, thats what I usually use in your food.

[rhino56]

seriously, is their a woman on the board ? this stuff is dethawing and im not sure what to cook it in. boil it in water? i want scampi or something good. im starving.

 

Use google.

But you can cook shrimp in butter or oil. It's your choice.
When you sautee shrimp, you usually use butter.

i don't work for them, but i like to sautee my shirmp like this:
a few tablespoons extra virgin olive oil a pat of butter. when you combine them, they will not burn that fast or smoke. add a little white wine, a few shallots and a clove of garlic and cook til just pink and enjoy over rice or noodle or with mashed potatoes!

Why sautee when you can boil or steam? 😀

Olive oil may be better than butter, especailly if you are a n00b to cooking. EVOO is harder to scorch.

Also - shrimp should cook for 4 minutes. Any longer, and they are likely to be tough.

... an excellent tip. I try to not use butter, since I am watching saturated fats. High cholesterol is a bitch.

Right, though I'm not taking in account his cooking skills, or lack thereof.

Shallots are smaller less strong onions. they enhance the flavor of the wine and since shrimp are kinda flavorless they add a nice zing to them without overpowering!

why would you ask for cooking advice from red lobster workers? that's like asking a mcdonalds worker how to cook a good hamburger.

i have mrs dash, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and ginger

i got the oil and butter warming up now, lets hope i dont do like yesterday and burn water.lol
i got bad allergies so i thought it would be a good idea to boil a pot of water for the humidity to get the pollen out of the air, well left it on high and came back to a dry pot after a game of generals, its nice to know that the stove shuts itself off if it gets too hot though.lol

if mcdonalds isnt good than why is everyone so fat they try to sue them?
i love red lobster, they make awesome scampi. have you ever had the bread? man thats the best.
i have been awake all night for no reason and im having shrimp for breakfast.
there really isnt much sense to be made here anyways.

Problem is shrimp are very high in cholesterol.

It is fresh food and the meals don't come premade. I work there.

 

[richardycc]

the OP is such a n00b, that he probably bought pre-cooked shrimps anyway....

 

[rh71]

ugh sea insects! Taco Smell is the order of the day.

 

[rhino56]

thank you lola, it was really good. i would have never guessed the oil butter mixture.
wasnt quite red lobster but it was very good.

It may raise your "bad" cholesterol level, but the benefits to your "good" cholesterol are worth it.
I'd be more worried about foods with more saturated fats.

whenever I cook, I use a combination of oil and butter -

fresh frozen seafood isn't the same as locally caught, fresh from the sea-food. go to a good fish restaurant in any port city and compare that to the RL meals they serve in Kansas and you'll see what I'm talking about.
