This is the trick: You want to keep an eye on the crevice in the back of the shrimp where the vein was removed. Stay locked onto the thickest part of the shrimp (the opposite end as the tail), and when the flesh at the base of that crevice turns from translucent to opaque, the shrimp is done. It's cooked through.

Read More »The line between perfectly cooked and messed-up shrimp is really thin, which can make cooking the things feel intimidating. But we're here to tell you that you don't have to be afraid—we’re all about building confidence over here at Basically. Let’s learn how to tell when shrimp are cooked through, how to get them tender and juicy every time. Let’s lift your crustacean confidence to new heights. Shrimp cook really quickly, which is partially why they are so often over or undercooked. There’s less of a margin for error when something is only in the skillet for three or four minutes, which is how long we usually cook shrimp. You can cook shrimp on a lower heat for a longer period of time, but for the best result, we like to sear or sauté shrimp on high heat. It gives them the best texture, juicy and tender, without any stringy chewiness. To start, make sure your shrimp are deveined. You can either do this yourself, or ask the person at your seafood counter or fish market to devein them. We like deveined shrimp because...well, there’s less poop. (That's what that dark line is, people.) But also because the doneness of a shrimp will always be easier to judge when they've been cut along the back, exposing more surface area. Consistency is a big part of tasty shrimp. You want to make sure all of your shrimp are the same size (no mixing jumbo and medium shrimp) and enter the pan at the same time. There shouldn’t be any shrimp lying on top of one another. The only way to cook the shrimp evenly is to spread them out in one layer, across the bottom of the pan, so they’re all exposed to the heated surface of the pan. So we place all of our thawed, deveined shrimp in a single layer on a hot skillet. And we don’t touch them. We let them sear with some butter or olive oil, hard and fast, for about 1-2 minutes. The shrimp will initially stick to the pan, but once the exterior has seared they’ll release from the pan naturally. Once you can move the shrimp around easily, flip them all over onto the opposite side.

" Why does cooked shrimp turn pink? " Anne and Sue - Why does shrimp turn from a gray color to pink when cooked? Amber Philadelpia, PA Still have more questions? You'll find more answers in our archived monthly feature articles by the Inquisitive Cooks. (Meet the Inquisitive Cooks) Dear Amber, Lobster, crab, and shrimp are all crustaceans, which means they have an exoskeleton (or external skeleton) that appears as a hard shell or crust. In the sea, the shells of crustaceans display a variety of colors, but when crustaceans are uncooked, the green-blue hue of the protein complex of the outer shell predominates. In lobsters, crab, and shrimp, however, a pigment called "astaxanthin" lies hidden, camouflaged by a protein covering. Astaxanthin is a member of the carotene family of pigments, which are responsible for coloring many of the yellow and orange (or "carotene") fruits and vegetables. Because these protein chains are not heat-stable, their protein wrapping uncoils as soon as crustaceans are put in boiling water. Voila! Red-orange astaxanthin molecules are released. Because pigments related to the carotenes are stable, the astaxanthins now display their unique deep hues that are so appealing. Those who enjoy the delicacy of these gifts from the sea know their flavors are as appealing as their coloring. The dramatic color change adds one more facet to the fascination of learning about the foods we consume.
