i read somewhere on this forum that NOT de-veining shrimp b4 cooking it can cause the shrim to have a grainy / sandy texture when eating.
does over-cooking shrimp have this same effect, or can that also be a product of not good quality shrimp??
i ask cause i LOVE shrimp, but am very new to cooking it myself. i am also very paranoid about undercooking it (i got food poisoined off undercooked scallops once..it was NOT fun!
), so i tend to overcook things for safety until i am more comfortable with it as an ingredient.
dumb questions #2: if i get 20 large tiger shrimp, and most of them have veins..does that mean that ALL of them have veins?? i could swear in about 5 of them, that there werent any!!
thank you and happy friday everyone!!!
