How to fry shrimp in the shell in a frying pan

Shrimp in the shell, or unpeeled, are fried in a frying pan for serving as a separate dish, although they are not heavily saturated with seasonings, but remain juicy. In this recipe, I select small-sized shrimp, which are considered especially tasty. Defrost the shrimp first for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator, and then at home temperature, then they will retain their taste.

1. 
   Remove the shrimp from the packaging and defrost in natural conditions in advance.
2. 
   Then rinse them well in cold water, place in a colander and leave to drain all the liquid. Fry the prepared shrimp over high heat in a dry, heated frying pan until the liquid has completely evaporated. Immediately peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
3. 
   After the water has evaporated, add a piece of butter to the shrimp and fry them over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula for 2 minutes.
4. 
   Then pour a little soy sauce into the bottom of the pan, just for flavor, not for saltiness. Fry the shrimp, stirring for another 3 minutes.
5. 
   Then add chopped garlic to the fried shrimp, fry for another 2-3 minutes and finally pour in the juice of 1/3 lemon.
6. 
   You can transfer shell-on shrimp fried in a frying pan to a dish and serve at the table.
7. 
   The shell is easily removed from such shrimp, and the meat turns out very juicy and tasty. Bon appetit!
