Hello. At one place it states to cook the shrimp 2 – 3 minutes per side, at another place it states 3 – 4. Please confirm which one is correct; I don’t want to over/under cook the shrimp. It states to add the olive oil and butter to the pan but the recipe doesn’t say how much butter. Please confirm. Thanks!!
The Shrimp should take about three minutes per side. It depends upon the size of the shrimp that you are using. Once it is a pinkish color and no longer translucent it is done!
I think this is one of the most significant pieces of information for me. And I’m glad to read your article. But should remark on some general things. The website style is perfect, the articles are really great
