frozen pre-cooked shrimp

Anonymous
On sale, a pound was exactly the price of a dozen eggs, so I bought it instead.

Tell me what to do with it. I've made shrimp fettucini alfredo and shrimp with stir fry and eaten it with cocktail sauce just looking for something surprising.

I buy the udon salad from Trader Joe’s and add several thawed pre-cooked shrimp, mango, red pepper, red cabbage, edamame and a scallion. Use about a third or less of the dressing that comes with the noodles and augment with some soy sauce and rice vinegar. If you skip most of the dressing, it’s a reasonably low calorie lunch or light dinner.

I don’t love shrimp so I’d probably make something like shrimp cakes and have them over a salad.

Throw them in with your pasta a few minutes before it's done cooking. Especially if you are doing a butter sauce.

Don't heat them up much, or they will shrink to about 10% their size and be rubbery and nasty.

Just thaw under running cold water and check for remaining shell parts, and eat.

Shrimp cocktail or salad or on top of regular salad are easy to do.

Pretty much avoid cooking them, just throw them in the last min after you cooked a meal if you want to use them in a hot meal.

My kids like shrimp tostadas - my quickie version is:

thaw and remove shells from the shrimp; saute in evoo sprinkled with taco seasoning for about 3 min (until shrimp turn pink and start to curl- remove from heat immed)

buy tostada shells or bake small tortillas brushed with evoo until crispy

on each tostada shell, spread some refried beans, top with shrimp, and finally top with shredded cheddar. bake 5 min until cheese is melty. sprinkle on top toppings like diced avocado, pico de gallo, pickled onions.

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Like a PP said, you don't want to cook it at all. It's already cooked, and overcooked shrimp is awful.

So shrimp salad, shrimp cocktail, etc.

Tangent, but Trader Joe’s frozen argentinian shrimp are disgusting. They have some kind of red dye on them that literally stains the food you cook it with (you can’t wash it off). Myguess it is so the shrimp look “healthy.”
