Would you like me to explain or break down any of the code snippets I’ve included?
What Should You Brine?
Because the benefits of brining are juiciness and flavor, the best meats for brining are lean proteins, because with less fat they tend to dry out and to have less flavor. This is probably why turkey and pork loin are so associated with brining.
But they’re certainly not the only lean proteins, right? Chicken breasts are lean. Fish is lean. And shrimp is definitely lean. So they’re all good candidates for brining.
Note that I’ve done some extensive testing on brining chicken breasts and have found the optimum amount of time and the best brine solution to make them perfect, which you should definitely check out here.
How To Brine Shrimp
My basic brining recipe is below. It makes just a few cups because that’s plenty for about 1 and 1/2 pounds of shrimp, enough to serve 4. But you can use the same proportions to make more or less depending on how much and what else you want to brine.
I usually mix up my brine in a spouted container, then put my shrimp in a resealable bag and pour in the brine. (If your shrimp is still frozen, see this post for how to thaw frozen shrimp.) Then I set it aside in the refrigerator.
Because shrimp are small and have a lot of surface area, the brine soaks in relatively quickly. So unlike a turkey which you might brine for up to a day, shrimp only needs about an hour.
After brining, pat your shrimp dry—especially if you’ll be pan-searing or grilling and want to get some browning—and proceed with your recipe.
One more tip—don’t rinse the shrimp before cooking. You don’t want to water down all the flavor you just added. Enjoy! -Christine xo
