  2. Place the shrimp, lightly rinsed under running water, on the salt layer without overlapping.

  2. Place the prepared shrimp on the salt and close the lid.
  3. Cook over high heat for 10 minutes until evenly red, then serve.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To keep the shrimp moist and flavorful, avoid opening the lid during cooking so the natural moisture and aroma stay trapped.
  • Since high heat may damage non-stick coatings, it's recommended to use a dedicated pot or line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil before adding the salt.
