How to prepare shrimp and peas
Let’s start preparing the shrimp with peas, chop the onion, place it in a pot along with extra virgin olive oil and add the peas, a splash of water, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt, and put it on the heat.
In the meantime, clean the shrimp by removing the shell, slit the back and with the help of a toothpick remove the black string and rinse them under running water.
Add the shrimp to the peas and cook for 10 minutes, stirring to turn the shrimp. Once cooked, adjust the salt and serve the shrimp with peas hot.
