How to Prepare the Shrimp

To prepare shrimp for cooking, we recommend thawing by one of two methods: refrigerator thawing or the cold-water method. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight by removing the shrimp from the bag and placing in a strainer with a plate underneath. Once defrosted, rinse well and drain. For faster thawing, remove shrimp from bag and place in a large bowl of cold water for approximately 10-20 minutes or until thawed. Make sure to use shrimp within 24 hours of thawing.
