Answer 2

You have to be VERY careful cooking already cooked shrimp. Since it's already fully cooked, you risk overcooking, and shrimp is tough when overcooked. Pretty much throw it in and take it out. If still frozen, you have at least some time while it thaws to brown a bit with your seasonings.

I wouldn't bother with the frozen. Nowadays you can get Frozen, deveined, easy-to-peel uncooked shrimp.

Since you have what you have, cook some angelhair pasta in an Ital. sauce, or add the shrimp to some cooked angelhair pasta with olive oil, herbs, fresh crushed garlic (yo can add a little white wine) and sprinkle a little parm. or romano cheese on top. Can toss in some steamed broccoli too. Or how about several veggies sauteed in some olive oil and herbs if you don't want pasta. You just have to be very careful how long you cook shrimp that's already cooked, so as not to end up with tough shrimp. There are sooo many ways to cook shrimp. Look up some recipes... there's an endless supply on here.

Look up some Asian recipes.. you should find some great ones.

When it comes to pre cooked shrimp you can add it to what ever recipe that has shrimp the only diffrence is that all you need to do is warm the shrimp up, don't cook it for a lond time beacuse it will get chewy and hard (overcooked). Heres a yummy recipe, just add the shrimp at the end.

If you like lemony dishes, try this...

1 pound linguine
1/2 lb cooked shrimp
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Make sure that shrimp, if frozen, is thawed and drained. Place shrimp in a colander - you will heat it only by pouring hot pasta water over it...

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.

Drain the pasta over the cold shrimp (to warm it), reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the shrimp, lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.

Enjoy!!

Shrimp can be very versatile in a lot of things, for summer food ideas they can be used in salads, seasoned and mixed up with your typical tuna or salmon salad mixtues for sandwiches. I also have a chicken recipe that calls for breaded chicken to be smothered in sour cream, shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon each of tarragon, thyme,garlic powder about the last 20 minutes of cooking...makes a yummy sauce.You could mix the shrimp with your favourite cheese and make sandwiches, cover with foil and heat them in the oven til the cheese melts.Since your shrimp are already cooked, you only want to cook them til just heated through, if you cook them much longer, thay will be tough and chewy

Answer 6

What I like to do is skewer them up. Buy some of those little wooden skewers. Remove the shell if still on and skewer up the shrimp, put on your grill. Every few minutes brush some sauce on them. The sauce is made up of 1 stick of butter, a couple of shakes of garlic powder, a little crushed red pepper & a little Worcestershire sauce. Rotate every few minutes as well. Since they are already cooked they are ready whenever you are. Don't cook them too long or they will turn dry and tough.

Answer 8

Avery Island Shrimp! All you do is bread the thawed shrimp and then pan saute them in butter to brown the coating. It is just enough time in the pan to warm them through and NOT over-cook them. You can find this recipe in any of the 'older' Betty Crocker cook books...but here is a link:

It really is good. I hope you try it!

Answer 9

You have a problem. If you cook them again, they will become very chewy. It's better to eat them in cold dishes, and get some raw to cook. Plus raw shrimp cooked has more flavor and texture than pre-cooked shrimp.

Answer 10

You can add the precooked shrimp to anything, like Alfredo sauce just heat the sauce and add the shrimp at the end to avoid getting chewy.
Throw the shrimp on a foreman grill just to heat through and put in a salad or sauce of your liking. Just because they are precooked doesn't mean you can't reheat them just be careful not to do it too long, they will shrink in size.

Answer 11

Ya kind of limit yourself to buy it precooked but I would make shrimp sauteed in olive oil and butter served with angel hair pasta.
