FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-
No, we don’t recommend cooking with frozen shrimp (though some people do). We’ve noticed the cooking is uneven when sauteeing frozen shrimp, therefore, recommend thawing the shrimp before it is cooked.
Cooked shrimp will last 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
We recommend large or extra large shrimp or prawns. You’ll want to peel and devein the shrimp before you cook it.
