Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    A simple easy step to make the best of your shrimp. And for once with Kenji it’s only one dish??

    This brine turns even imported frozen Costco shrimp into something quite special. Great texture, even when slightly overcooked (used the shrimp in a Rick Bayless rice recipe that uses a rice cooker). I've got the formula saved on my fridge, because I now use it every time I cook shrimp!
