Before cooking, ensure the shrimp are fully thawed if they were previously frozen. Pat them dry with paper towels to help them sear properly. You can marinate them for about 15 to 30 minutes in your favorite seasonings, herbs, and oils. When cooking, they only need a few minutes per side until they turn opaque and pink. Overcooking can make them tough, so watch them closely. They are excellent when tossed with sauces or served simply.
