Notes
- Don't over cook the shrimps as they get rubbery and lose their taste. If you are using small shrimps, reduce the cooking time to avoid over cooking them.
- If you use frozen shrimp for this recipe, make sure they are completely thawed before cooking them.
- Leftover Karides Güveç would keep for up to two days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
- A short video is attached to the recipe card to show how to peel and devein raw prawns.
- You can freeze the leftovers if you used fresh prawns. However, if you made the dish with frozen prawns, I don't recommend freezing the leftovers!
