What it is

The product contains whole shrimp, ready for cooking. The packaging is designed for easy storage and access in your freezer.
How people cook with it
These raw shrimp are a convenient base for many quick and flavorful meals. They cook very quickly, making them ideal for weeknight dinners.
- Quick stir-fries
- Shrimp scampi
- Pasta dishes
- Salads
To use, thaw the shrimp completely in the refrigerator. Avoid thawing at room temperature. Once thawed, they are ready to be added to your favorite recipes. You can sauté them with garlic and butter, toss them into a simmering sauce, or add them to a hot pan for a quick sear. Ensure they are cooked through until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking can make them tough.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-cooked shrimp, these are raw, allowing you to control the cooking process and ensure optimal texture. Peeled and deveined means the tough outer shell and the dark vein running along the back have already been removed, saving you preparation time.
How to keep the rest
Keep the package frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, store any unused shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one to two days. Do not refreeze shrimp that has been thawed.
