Questions

Why pat it dry first in Turkish Garlic Shrimp?

Step 1 reads: "Pat 1.5 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined dry with paper towels." Surface water has to boil off before anything can brown. Drying at step 1 means the food sears in the first minute instead of steaming.

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of shrimp in Turkish Garlic Shrimp?

Yes; most shrimp sold as fresh were frozen once already. Thaw them under cold running water for about ten minutes and pat them very dry so they sear instead of steaming. As written, the entry for Turkish Garlic Shrimp uses 1.5 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined.

How hot is Turkish Garlic Shrimp?

Moderately. The heat in Turkish Garlic Shrimp comes from 1/8 tsp Red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
