To prepare, thaw the shrimp by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or by running cold water over them in a colander. Once thawed, they can be cooked using various methods. Sautéing in butter and garlic is a popular choice for a quick meal. They can also be added to soups, stews, or curries during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent them from becoming tough. For a smoky flavor, grill them on skewers.
