If you are processing shrimp, you should avoid soaking the shrimp, because oil will cause burns during frying. Cook shrimp for too long Fish and seafood cook much faster than meat and poultry. The muscles in seafood are made up of bundles of fibrous protein cells. In seafood, however, these bundles are much shorter and the connective tissue that holds them together is much thinner. Overcooked shrimp will be difficult to peel, the meat will chewy and reduce the sweetness.
