Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making tasty shrimp stir fry. Firstly, don’t cook it for more than 5 mins. If you overcook it, then the shrimps will become rubbery. Secondly, if you want to cook small sized shrimps, take care while cooking as it will cook faster. Finally, a well-cooked shrimp would split into two pieces smoothly when cutting with the spoon. That’s the correct stage at which you should switch off the heat and remove from the stove.
