- Drizzle olive oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium/high heat.

- Cook shrimp for around 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink in color and are firm to touch.
SHORT COOK TIME
Shrimp cooks extremely fast no matter how to plan to prepare it. If you’re making grilled shrimp or shrimp in a frying pan, you only need to cook it for around 1-3 minutes on each side depending on how big your shrimp is.
How to know when shrimp is cooked?
The best way to know if your shrimp is fully cooked is with a meat thermometer. It should reach 145ºF internally. If you’re going based on color and touch, it should turn pink in color and be firm to the touch.
