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

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.

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.
