If you have some tomato sauce you can make a quick pasta sauce and add the shrimp quickly at the end just to heat through and then toss over penne or spaghetti.


You could also make a shrimp stiry fry with nice crisp veggies and serve over rice or pasta.


Shrimp salad, just take the shrimp thaw it place in a bowl with mayo, lettuce and carrots. Stir together and serve in lettuce leaf or in a sandewich or with crackers.Does anyone out there have a good recipe for pre-cooked, flash-frozen shrimp?
Let shrimp thaw.


Can be thawed easily by running under cold water for a few mins.


Don't know how many shrimp you are using but I mix some good olive oil with lemon juice to which I add garlic granules (could use garlic powder or salt) and dill weed to taste.


Mix well and stir several times while letting this sit for apprx.1/2 hour or longer to marinate.


Very tasty.
Firstly I thaw them in cold water. Then I make a seafood cocktail sauce for shrimp cocktail


1/2 cup ketchup


1 tsp lemon juice


1 tbsp jarred red horse radish


Another quick recipe: Since they are already cooked, if you cook anything the shrimps should be added last for very short time so they don't become tough or rubbery.


They can be used in any recipe as long as they are not left to simmer or cook for any length of time. That being said, I make a stir fry of veggies, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, cauliflower. Then I make a white sauce commonly called an Alfredo sauce with grated Parmesan or Cheddar allowing it to melt then add my thawed flash frozen cooked shrimp to warm and spoon over the stir fry. Easy and quick and very tasty.
Thaw and serve as shrimp cocktail or mix with alfredo sauce and put over pasta, or saute' with garlic and butter for a minute or two and serve with rice or pasta. Add them to spaghetti sauce or on top of a pizza. Chop them up and add to an omelette. Sprinkle some over a salad. Chop and mix with celery, onion, salt, pepper and mayo serve on a hoagie roll. And these are just the ones that come to me off th etop of my head. Thawing is the hard part...eating them is the fun part.
Mix with anything .Not much alone. Don't over cook to much.
