Who has recipes for pre-cooked/cleaned frozen shrimp?

Question

I have several pounds of large already-cooked already-cleaned frozen shrimp. Other than the obvious -- i.e., dipping them in cocktail sauce and eating as an appetizer -- who has some recipes that I can use them in? I 'm worried they'll start to get freezer-burned if I keep them too long.

Answer 1

You can use this shrimp for Any fast cooked meal as well. I use the shrimp IF large enough as shrimp scampi, or in stir fry meals

My shrimp Scampi:

12-16 Large defrosted and cleaned cooked shrimp
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/4 bread crumbs
black Pepper
oregano
paprika


Arrange the shrimp on broiling pan/dish
pour Lemon juice over and toss
pour 1/8 cup of melted butter over toss again.

Season shrimp with paprika, oregano, and ground pepper

Mix bread crumbs with the rest of the butter melted, and spread over the shrimp

Broil til shrimp are hot and the topping is golden brown. (takes just a few mins.

Serve with sides of your choice, pasta, rice , or side of baked potato, Add a Salad, and YUM

here are a few other ideas.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Shrimp
Easy sweet and sour shrimp recipe, made with frozen cooked shrimp, pea pods, and sweet and sour sauce mixture.
INGREDIENTS:

* 1 package (6 ounces) frozen Chinese pea pods
* 1 can (12 to 14 ounces) pineapple tidbits in juice
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1/2 tsp ground ginger
* 1 bag (12 to 16 ounces) frozen small to medium shrimp, cleaned and cooked
* 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
* hot cooked rice

PREPARATION:
Put pea pods in a colander and run cold water over them until partially thawed -- enough to separate easily. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Place pea pods and drained pineapple in slow cooker. In a small saucepan, stir together cornstarch and sugar; add chicken broth, reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, and ginger. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring, and cook sauce for about 1 minute. The sauce should be thickened and clear. Gently blend sauce into pea pods and pineapple. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 5 hours. Add the thawed cooked shrimp; continue to cook 30 minutes longer, until heated through. Add vinegar and stir gently.

Serve with hot cooked rice.

Garlic Shrimp Salad

This shrimp salad is a meal by itself, or a wonderful compliment to a larger meal as a side dish. It is best to buy shrimp that is still frozen. Shrimp that has already been thawed has a very short shelf life and will not be nearly as flavorful. Make sure your shrimp is the freshest possible.

Ingredients:

* 1 lb medium cooked shrimp, best bought still frozen
* 1 bunch asparagus cut into 1 inch lengths, discarding bottom fourth, (cut entire bunch at the same time)
* 1 fresh tomato, seeds and excess pulp removed cut into 1/2 inch pieces
* 4 medium cloves garlic, pressed
* 3 TBS chopped fresh parsley
* small head of romaine lettuce, chopped
* *optional 2 oz crumpled goat cheese
* salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
* Dressing
* 3 TBS fresh lemon juice
* 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
* 1 TBS Dijon mustard
* 1 tsp honey
* salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:


1. Make sure shrimp is completely thawed and patted dry with a paper towel, or it will dilute the flavor of the salad.
2. Cook asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and make sure asparagus is dried of excess water with paper towels.
3. Cut tomatoes in half, remove seeds and cut out excess pulp. Cut into about ½ inch pieces.
4. Whisk together lemon, oil, mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss shrimp, asparagus, parsley, and tomato with dressing and herbs. Allow shrimp salad to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5. Discard outer leaves of lettuce head, rinse, dry and chop. Serve shrimp mixture on bed of lettuce and top with crumpled goat cheese if desired.

Answer 3

I had the same problem a while back here's what I did:

Thaw frozen shrimp

You'll need
linguine I used 1 lb. but you can adjust it, sounds like you have a lot of shrimp
1 can of mushrooms I use Diamond
10 stalks of asparagus
butter about 1 stick
1 can of chicken stock/broth I prefer Country Inn
about 2 cups of white wine, only use one you would actually drink
1 clove garlic
Shredded Parmesan cheese

Boil water for linguine
Cut asparagus into about 1 1/2 inch pieces cook in light butter, half a clove of garlic and water (make sure to snap of the ends)
When asparagus is cooked put aside in a separate bowl leaving a little water in pan
Add remaining garlic
Add chicken stock & butter until melted then add the wine
Cook until alcohol is cooked away
Add mushrooms and shrimp
Since the mushrooms and shrimp are cooked you just need to heat them up
Add asparagus
For presentation add shredded cheese and parsley on top
Serve with garlic bread

I don't know if it has a name but it came out delicious and you can use almost any veggie or veggies you want
you can also add a small can of crushed tomatoes to make it a little richer
the sauce might be a little thin if so just add a little flour or Wundra

Answer 5

If you wanted to make a shrimp scampi you would also need white wine, butter, olive oil, and basil. but i know a pretty inexpensive recipe if you like possibly spicy stuff: two lemons (zested) a clove of garlic 2 tbs. hot sauce olive oil 1 tbs. butter heat up your pan and put enough olive oil in the pan to cook the shrimp. Add your garlic and allow it took cook for about a min. Add the shrimp and cook one side of it. When you are about the turn the shrimp over add your lemon zest and hot sauce and more olive oil if the pan is looking dry. wait until the shrimp is just about cooked off then add your butter and allow it melt into your sauce. Don't cook it for too long after so you don't burn your butter. now add the rice you have and enjoy. if you get a hold of some white wine: start with the olive oil and garlic as above add white wine when shrimp is half way cooked and more olive oil if pan is dry. then add your chopped Basil(or dry basil) and butter. if you want add slices of tomato and allow them to get warm not mushy before take it off the fire. As with any dish you should add a pinch of salt and pepper every time you add a new ingredient.

Answer 6

I've almost addicted to shrimps.
In this household we eat about a kilo (Yep, I'm Dutch, isn't it about 2 pounds??) a week.
For a fast meal I just season with fish herbs, wrap pieces dried ham around each shrimp and tread them to skewers:
Grill or broil.

The other 17 recipes I often use are over here:

(You'll find the photo of those skewers with ham there too)

Enjoy and greetz from the Netherlands

Answer 7

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU53U

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 8

Answer 10

if they're already cooked you'll have to eat them cold. you can't cook them again as they will get tough like rubber and be ruined.

you can make shrimp salad if you don't want to have shrimp cocktail. or use instead of chicken in caesar salad.
