Q&A for How to Cook Frozen Shrimp

Follow the instructions in Make Shrimp Cocktail .

Thaw the shrimp first in cold water. Get the water boiling and producing steam in your steamer before adding the shrimp. Let steam only a minute or less, as steaming will greatly toughen the shrimp meat.

Absolutely! As long as the shrimp were frozen correctly, they're super easy to cook and add to a dish. Place them in a strainer or colander and submerge them into a bowl of cool water for about 15 minutes to thaw them out. Then, just cook them like you would fresh shrimp.

Thawing frozen shrimp will make them taste better and have a better texture. It's also really quick and easy to do. Place the frozen shrimp into a strainer or colander and soak them in a bowl of cool water for 15 minutes. Then, take them out, dry them off, and they're good to go!

Once the frozen shrimp are thawed, you can store them in your fridge for a day or two before they go off. You can also refreeze them in that window if you aren't able to cook them. Before you use the thawed shrimp check them to make sure they don't look or smell rotten.
