Weis Quality Cooked Shrimp
What it is

They offer a convenient way to enjoy seafood without the preparation of fresh shrimp. The product is designed for quick meal assembly and versatile culinary applications.
How people cook with it
These versatile shrimp can be a star ingredient or a complementary addition to many meals.
- Add to pasta dishes
- Toss into salads
- Serve with cocktail sauce
- Incorporate into stir-fries
To use, simply thaw the shrimp under cold running water or by placing the sealed package in a bowl of cool water. Avoid thawing at room temperature. Once thawed, they can be added directly to cold dishes like salads or dips. For hot dishes, add them during the final stages of cooking, as they are already cooked and can become tough if overcooked. They are excellent stirred into pasta sauces, added to grain bowls, or used as a topping for pizzas.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw shrimp, these are fully cooked, saving significant preparation time. They also differ from fresh shrimp in texture and flavor, as the cooking and freezing process can alter these qualities. The convenience factor is a primary distinction, making them ideal for quick meals.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fast and easy way to add seafood to their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After thawing, keep any unused shrimp refrigerated and consume within one to two days. It is not recommended to refreeze shrimp once they have been thawed. Store the original packaging in the freezer until ready for use.
