Shrimp appears on seafood menus in Baku both as a starter and as a main dish. The most common method is frying in garlic and butter, though they are also cooked over coals. Garlic, lemon and herbs bring out the slightly sweet taste of the shrimp. The flesh is firm and delicate, and it is important not to overcook it or it turns rubbery. Bread is served alongside so you can soak up the sauce. Some places offer them with a spicy sauce or cheese. This is a light dish that is rich in protein. Portion size and shrimp size drive the price.
