How people cook with it
Cooked shrimp is a versatile ingredient that can elevate many types of meals. It is perfect for both hot and cold preparations.

To use, simply thaw the shrimp if they are frozen. They can be served chilled directly from the package for appetizers like shrimp cocktail or added to salads.
