To use these shrimp, you will typically need to thaw them first. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or by running them under cold water for a few minutes. Once thawed, they can be added directly to recipes. For hot dishes, add them towards the end of cooking, as they cook very quickly and can become tough if overcooked. They are excellent when sautéed with garlic and butter, added to soups, or tossed with pasta and sauce.
