To prepare, simply rinse the shrimp under cold water. They are ready to be added to your cooking. For sautéing, heat a little oil or butter in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as this can make them tough. They can also be added directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews during the last few minutes of cooking. For grilling, thread them onto skewers and cook over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side.
