How people cook with it
These shrimp are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes. Their pre-preparation saves time in the kitchen.

To cook, simply add the raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp to your dish during the final stages of cooking. They cook very quickly, usually in just 2-5 minutes, depending on the size. Overcooking can make them tough. You can sauté them in a pan with butter and garlic, add them to simmering sauces, stir-fry them with vegetables, or grill them. Ensure they turn pink and opaque, which indicates they are fully cooked and safe to consume. They are best used soon after purchase.
