Waterfront Bistro Raw Shrimp Medium Peeled & Deveined, Tail Off
What it is
This product contains medium-sized shrimp that have been pre-peeled and deveined for your convenience. The tails have also been removed, making them ready to cook and use in a variety of dishes. These shrimp are typically frozen to preserve their freshness and quality until you are ready to prepare them. They offer a quick and easy seafood option for busy kitchens.

- Appetizers and party snacks
- Salads and pasta dishes
- Stir-fries and sautés
To prepare these shrimp, you will first need to thaw them completely. The best method is to place the frozen shrimp in a colander in the refrigerator overnight. For a faster thaw, you can place the sealed bag of shrimp in a bowl of cold water for about 20-30 minutes, changing the water as needed. Once thawed, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. They cook very quickly, often in just 2-5 minutes, depending on the cooking method and heat. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tender texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole shrimp, these are already peeled, deveined, and have their tails removed, saving significant preparation time. This makes them a more convenient choice for recipes where the shell and vein are not desired or needed for presentation.
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 use them within one to two days. It is not recommended to refreeze shrimp once they have been thawed. Store them in a sealed container or their original packaging.
