Is the shrimp already peeled and cooked?

Yes. It is sold cooked and peeled, so you thaw it and use it cold or fold it into a hot dish at the last minute.

How should I thaw it?

Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water in a sealed bag. Avoid warm water, which softens the texture.

Briefly. Add it to pasta, rice or stir-fry at the end of cooking, just long enough to warm through, or it turns rubbery.

Raw shrimp gives you more control over texture and flavor, especially for grilling or searing. This bag trades that for speed and no prep.

About 14 g protein per 100 g, with no fat and no carbohydrates, plus some vitamin D.

The bag holds 2 lbs. A shrimp cocktail portion is roughly 3 to 4 oz, so plan on about 8 to 10 servings.
