Remember to flip the shrimps or shake the basket halfway through cooking time to ensure even cooking.

Notes
I used fresh shrimps. If using frozen precooked shrimps, cook for 6 to 8 mins this depends on how well done you like your shrimps.
I would recommend Jumbo shrimps for this recipe.
If cooking shrimps straight from frozen, add 3-4 mins to cooking time (this will also depend on how done you like yours)
