What it is

To prepare, these shrimp are usually cooked from a frozen state. They can be baked in an oven until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be fried in an air fryer or pan-fried for a crispy texture. Ensure they are cooked to an internal temperature that is safe for consumption. They are best served immediately after cooking for optimal crispness and flavor.

Compared to raw shrimp, these are pre-portioned and coated, saving preparation time. The butterfly cut exposes more surface area to the breading, leading to a crispier exterior when cooked. They are also already seasoned, offering a consistent flavor profile.
