WaterfrontBISTRO Raw EZ Peel Shrimp
What it is
This product contains raw shrimp that have been prepared for easier cooking. The shell is partially removed, leaving the tail intact. This preparation method aims to simplify the peeling process for the consumer, saving time and effort in the kitchen. The shrimp are typically frozen to preserve their freshness until they are ready to be used in various dishes.
How people cook with it
These shrimp are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide range of meals.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Appetizer platters
- Pasta dishes
- Stir-fries
Before cooking, ensure the shrimp are fully thawed. You can thaw them by placing the package in the refrigerator overnight or by submerging the sealed package in cold water. Once thawed, they are ready to be cooked using your preferred method. Whether you choose to sauté them with garlic and butter, grill them with a marinade, or add them to a simmering sauce, the EZ Peel preparation means less work before they hit the heat. Cook until the shrimp turn opaque and pink, which usually takes only a few minutes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to shrimp that are sold whole or with the shell fully on, EZ Peel shrimp require less manual preparation. The tail remaining on provides a convenient handle for eating and can add visual appeal to certain dishes, unlike fully peeled and deveined shrimp.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient seafood option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After thawing, keep any unused shrimp refrigerated and consume within one to two days. If the shrimp are still frozen, store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent freezer burn.
