Shrimp

If you can buy shrimp with the heads on all the better. After you peel and de-vein the shrimp, place them in a bowl of icy cold water with salt (sea salt preferred). The water should be as salty as the sea (same as pasta water). Let the shrimp soak for about 15-20 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. Then proceed with your recipe. This gives the shrimp a better texture and fresher taste. The heads and shells can be boiled down to make a great shrimp stock.
