BASE RECIPE FOR PAN-SEARED SHRIMP
The cooking times below are for 21/25 shrimp (that is, the size of the shrimp is such that there are 21 to 25 in 1 pound.) If 21/25 shrimp are not available, adjust cooking times slightly. Either a nonstick or traditional skillet will work for this recipe, but a nonstick will simplify cleanup. Note this is a base recipe that I use many other recipes. I acquired this recipe from Cook's Illistrated magazine.
