How people cook with it

To use, simply thaw the shrimp according to package directions, usually by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or by using the defrost setting on your microwave. Once thawed, they can be added directly to cold dishes like salads or shrimp cocktail. For hot dishes, you can gently warm them in a sauce or add them towards the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming tough. Avoid overcooking, as this can negatively impact their texture.

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, thawed shrimp refrigerated in an airtight container. It is best to consume them within one to two days of thawing. Do not refreeze shrimp that have already been thawed. Store unopened packages in the freezer until ready for use.
