- Are the shrimp already cooked?
- Yes. They are cooked, peeled and deveined, so you only need to thaw them. Briefly heating them in a dish is fine, but overcooking makes them rubbery.
- How should I thaw them?
- Place the amount you need in a bowl of cold water for about 10 to 15 minutes, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Do not thaw at room temperature or refreeze after thawing.
- Are they kosher?
- Yes, the bag is marked kosher. Check the certification mark on the package if you keep kosher.
- Are the shrimp wild-caught?
- No. They are farmed in Asia. The bag carries a Fairtrade certification, which covers trade terms rather than whether the shrimp are wild or farmed.
- How many servings are in the bag?
- The bag holds 2 pounds of shrimp. As an appetizer that is roughly 10 to 12 small servings; as a main ingredient in pasta or salad, expect about 6 to 8.
- Can I use them in hot dishes?
- Yes, but add them near the end of cooking. They are already cooked, so they only need to heat through.
- Where is the Member's Mark Large Cooked Shrimp, Frozen cheapest?
- At Sam's Club, for $17.97, as of our latest check.
