🛒 Ingredients

For 2 people

🦐 200g Raw Shrimp

🧄 1 clove of chopped garlic

🌿 2 tbsp chopped parsley

🫒 1 tbsp Olive oil

⚡ Express Preparation

1 Marinade: In a bowl, mix the shrimp with the oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

2. Cooking: Preheat to 200°C . Place the shrimp in the basket (without overlapping them).

3 Timing: Cook for 4 to 5 minutes . Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.

🤩 Lou's tip: If you are using frozen shrimp, pat them very dry with absorbent paper before marinating them to prevent them from releasing too much water.

Caution: Do not exceed 5 minutes of cooking time. Overcooked shrimp become rubbery and lose all their delicate flavor!

❓ FAQ

Can we leave the tail on?

Absolutely! It's even more practical to grab them with your fingertips during a cocktail party.

What sauce should I go with it?

A little lemon mayonnaise or homemade tartar sauce will go perfectly with the garlicky side of the prawns.
