Cooking shrimp...

[Myxomatosis]

Ok, I'm not the best chef, or a good one for that matter...
The only way I know how to cook shrimp is to fry them in a pan w/ some spices. Can you steam them too?? I don't know...

How do you cook your shrimps, I need new ideas...

Thanks

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm really picky & I don't really like sauces or pasta, maybe this is my problem??

Boil, broil, fry, bake, steam, grill... Just don't overcook them.

you can just boil water in a pot, season if desired with salt, lemon pepper, mrs. dash, etc. then add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and begins to float. doesnt take long... usually 1-2min. Drain water and ur done!

Shrimp can also be cooked in the microwave for small servings. Place 5 or 6 shrimp on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel, and cook for 10 - 20 seconds. You can add some butter spray, seasonsing, etc. on top of each shrimp before cooking; just make sure to cover shrimp.
