Kroger Frozen Jumbo Easy Peel Raw Shrimp
What it is
This product contains raw, peeled, and deveined jumbo shrimp that have been flash-frozen for freshness. The 'easy peel' designation indicates that the shell has been partially removed, making it simpler to prepare for cooking. These shrimp are a versatile seafood option, offering a mild flavor and tender texture that complements a wide range of dishes.
How people cook with it
Frozen shrimp are a pantry staple for quick and easy meal preparation. They can be thawed and cooked in minutes, making them ideal for weeknight dinners.
- Stir-fries
- Pasta dishes
- Salads
- Appetizers
To use, thaw the shrimp by placing them in a colander under cold running water for a few minutes or by transferring them to the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, they are ready to be cooked. You can sauté them with garlic and butter, add them to simmering sauces, grill them on skewers, or toss them into a hot wok with vegetables and noodles. Their quick cooking time means they are best added towards the end of the cooking process to avoid becoming tough. Ensure they are cooked through until opaque and pink.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp offer extended shelf life and convenience. The 'easy peel' feature differentiates these from whole shrimp or those requiring full deveining, saving preparation time. Jumbo size means a more substantial bite and satisfying texture in dishes.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused thawed shrimp refrigerated and use within one to two days. For unopened packages, store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below until ready to use. Proper storage ensures the quality and safety of the shrimp.
