Steaming shrimp usually takes 3 to 5 minutes. 1. If the shrimp is steamed whole, steam it for 5 minutes after the water is boiled. 2. If the shrimp is steamed with its head removed, steam it for 4 minutes after the water is boiled. 3. If the shrimp is open-back steamed, steam it for 3 minutes after the water is boiled. 4. If steaming shellless shrimps, steam them for 3 minutes after the water boils and they will be cooked.

Steaming shrimp usually takes 3 to 5 minutes.

1. If the shrimp is steamed whole, steam it for 5 minutes after the water is boiled. Because the protein content of shrimp itself is very high, almost the whole body is protein. However, steaming of whole shrimps will be slightly hindered by heating with the shells on, so the steaming time needs to be controlled to 5 minutes.

2. If the shrimp is steamed with its head removed, steam it for 4 minutes after the water is boiled and it will be cooked. Because the water inside the shrimp meat will evaporate more easily after the shrimp is decapitated, the shrimp meat will be heated significantly faster. Generally, it can be eaten after steaming for 4 minutes.

3. If the shrimp is open-back steamed, steam it for 3 minutes after the water is boiled. Because the meat inside the back of the prawns is opened, the heating surface will be greatly increased, and the thickness of the whole shrimp will be divided into two. The steaming time will naturally be significantly shortened. Generally, it takes about 3 minutes to steam.

4. If steaming shellless shrimps, steam them for 3 minutes after the water boils and they will be cooked. Although the shrimps are completely shelled, the shrimp meat is still thicker. The steaming time is the same as that of open-back shrimps. It is recommended to steam for 3 minutes before eating.
