Keeping frozen shrimp on hand is always a good idea. It gives you the flexibility you need for anything from last-minute dinners on a busy weeknight, to cooking for unexpected company. I keep frozen shrimp on hand for nights I’m super busy but want a quick and delicious dinner like my Shrimp Scampi or Coconut Curry Shrimp. Whether you are defrosting cooked or uncooked shrimp, have plenty of time or in a total rush, I am here to help. These methods work for both frozen cooked shrimp and frozen raw shrimp. To do so, just place them in an airtight container and put them in the fridge. The following day, when you’re ready use them. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel before cooking.
