Jumbo Shrimp (Un-Cooked, P+D) / lb. Handling & Preparation
To thaw frozen shrimp, place shrimp in your refrigerator for 48 hours, or defrost under gently running, cold water for 20 to 30 minutes.
Thawed shrimp cook quickly. They are best prepared in sautes, casseroles, and other stove-top methods. Add raw shrimp about five minutes before the end of the cooking process, so that the shrimp can cook through, but not become tough.
Shrimp can also be steamed or boiled for about 6 minutes.
