Frozen, cooked shrimp...what to do

Post by Crocus » Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:27 am

I have a large bag of frozen, shell-on, cooked shrimp. I thawed (and peeled) some of them to use in a salad and they are absolutely tasteless. Any ideas how I could use them up?

How about something like this? http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/shrimp ... ille-gumbo

This is a really flavorful recipe, you could add the shrimp at the end, just long enough to warm them. You might not notice the lack of flavor :lol:

Since they're basically all I can get here, I've had to use them in most things. They are pretty darn tasteless all on their own, aren't they?

If you like shrimp lightly fried, this is one way that I fix them.

Skillet Fried Shrimp

½ pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 Tablespoons of oil

In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil on medium heat. Dip shrimp in flour mixture to coat. Fry shrimp in a skillet of hot oil for 3 minutes on each side. Super easy and very tasty! Serve.
