The TRUTH about Cooking with Frozen Shrimp!

Most people think that frozen shrimp is subpar to the "fresh" shrimp that they see displayed on ice in grocery stores and fish markets. The truth is, that shrimp has been previously flash frozen and thawed as needed for consumption. This video will give you some great tips on frozen shrimp and what to look for when you purchase it! #frozenshrimp #cookingshrimp #shrimp

You’re right about Gulf shrimp. It’s the best, imo. 🍤😊

[@mealsunderpressure]

yes!!

[@kerryalabama6716]

We sell fresh shrimp from Mobile Bay, over night fresh. Never frozen. Mobile Bay shrimp taste the best, sweet flavor so good .

[@mealsunderpressure]

That’s good to hear. We hardly ever see bay shrimpers anymore over here in Pensacola

[@larrybradford1028]

Can’t get fresh shrimp here where I live. Grocery store shrimp even in the showcase is previously frozen

[@mealsunderpressure]

Yes it is

[@IDrawToothpicks]

Just got some frozen gulf shrimp. Hope it's good!

[@mealsunderpressure]

I am sure it will be! Let me know!

I'm planning to make sautéed shrimp w spaghetti. I have a bag of Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp. Do they need to be brined before cooking? If so, what's the brine recipe?

[@mealsunderpressure]

Nope, no need to brine. Just thaw, pat dry, and sauté. I like to sauté in butter and garlic

[@thelittlemaldos1389]

How do you defrost them? I made some frozen fish and wow.. they were terribly rubbery… so bad!

[@mealsunderpressure]

Place the bag in a bowl of cold water until they are defrosted.

Question is it safe to eat shrimp after the frozen exp date like one month?

[@jaimenoble]

Or should I just throw it out

[@mealsunderpressure]

Like one month I wouldn't be to worried about, but anything beyond that maybe. Those shrimp are flash frozen on the boat, so they are about as fresh as they come

[@hankschrader7050]

I like the way you cook! Let me come through the screen and give you a big smooch!

[@mealsunderpressure]

Hahaha thanks!

[@denisewynn6885]

So the royal reds from Joe Patti’s without head but shells on can not be frozen when you get home to have for another time?

[@mealsunderpressure]

No, they come off the boat frozen, and thawed out to put out for sale. Can’t refereeze them

[@Anna-gv9iq]

too much repetition

[@mealsunderpressure]

Thanks for watching anyway!
