Recipe

Prepare enough coarse salt to completely cover the bottom of the pot you'll be cooking in.
Spread the prepared coarse salt in a thick, even layer across the bottom of the pot.
Rinse the shrimp lightly under running water.
Arrange the rinsed shrimp neatly on the salt layer without overlapping.
Close the pot lid tightly so moisture doesn't escape.
Cook over high heat for about 10 minutes until the shrimp shells turn a uniform appetizing red, then serve.

Spread a generous, thick layer of coarse salt on the bottom of a pot.
Place the prepared shrimp on the salt and close the pot lid.
Cook over high heat for 10 minutes until evenly red, then plate.

Cooking tips

To keep the shrimp moist, avoid opening the lid during cooking as much as possible so the internal moisture and aroma don't escape.
High heat can damage the coating of regular non-stick pots, so it's recommended to use a dedicated pot you don't mind, or line a pan with parchment paper/aluminum foil before adding the salt.

Recommended for

Those who want to savor the natural sweetness and plump texture of shrimp without marinades or complicated cooking steps.
Those looking for a quick 10-minute snack or drinking food for home parties, camping, or late-night cravings.
