Comments: Shelling and de-veining shrimp is a slow process
9/23/2007 - Used maybe 50% more shrimp & served five people It was tasty
7/27/2008 - Abt 24 shrimp per lb
1/29/2011 - I used deveined, frozen shrimp.
6/5/2018 - Again I used cleaned, frozen shrimp. I used 7 green onions because I did not want to have any remaining. I fried the shrimp with the burner at 6, and they were pink in only one minute.
1/9/2021 - Pretty much followed the recipe. On the second day, I added the leftover shrimp to some frozen stir-fry vegetables.
5/15/2021 - I used peanut oil and cooked the shrimp at “ 8”. We ate it all in one meal.
7/24/2021 - I cooked the jumbo shrimp at “ 8” for two minutes and for one minute after adding the onions. We had enough for two days.
11/15/2021 - Again, I cooked the jumbo shrimp at “ 8” for two minutes and for one minute after adding the onions. The shrimp tasted quite salty. Didn’t I rinse them enough?.
3/27/2023 - I pretty much followed the two previous occasions. I reduced the salt to one teaspoon. The shrimp cooked in a little less than 2 minutes.
