Place in a strainer with a plate underneath. Once completely thawed, rinse well and drain. To thaw faster, remove the desired amount of shrimp from the bag. Place in a bowl of cold water for 10-20 minutes. Once thawed, be sure to use shrimp within 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Preheat Skillet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Pull out a large skillet and preheat over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If desired, add garlic and\/or onions to your skillet and cook until soft. This will infuse your shrimp with an extra depth of savory flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Season Shrimp<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Sprinkle your shrimp with a dash of salt, pepper, and the seasoning of your choice or try our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Signature-Seafood-Seasoning-00000029946?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"> Omaha Steaks Signature Seafood Seasoning. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Saut\u00e9 Shrimp<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Place them in your skillet, evenly spaced, and saut\u00e9 your shrimp 4-5 minutes turning frequently. Cook to an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F as indicated by a food thermometer. Remove from skillet and plate as you please.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Cooking Note:<\/b> <i>Most shrimp show a translucent blue color when raw. This blue hue gives way to bright pink and red as the shrimp cooks. However, some shrimp varieties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Wild-Argentinian-Red-Shrimp-00000014654?SRC=RZ0636\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp<\/a>, for example) are red even when raw and will turn opaque when cooked.

Shrimp shines whether you use it as a hearty protein in your stir-fry and pasta dish, or a as a topper for salads and grits. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The versatility of this bite-sized crustacean means you can easily take any dish from simple to stupendous with nothing more than the addition of perfectly sauteed shrimp. Here\u2019s the skinny on how to saute shrimp.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Start with Premium Frozen Shrimp<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Let us squelch any fears you may have about keeping raw, frozen shrimp in your freezer. Unless being sold dockside or directly to local vendors, <a href=\"https:\/\/worldportseadv.wpengine.com\/buy\/Shellfish\/Shrimp?SRC=RZ0638\">quality shrimp<\/a> is responsibly sourced and flash-frozen day of catch to keep it fresh while it\u2019s transported to a supermarket near you. That means any \u201cfresh\u201d shrimp you find at your local seafood counter was previously frozen, and once thawed, shrimp tend to quickly lose freshness, so purchasing frozen shrimp, rather than raw, means you can keep fresh shrimp on hand until you\u2019re ready to cook it. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Best of all, frozen shrimp thaws FAST if you use the right technique. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Quick-Thaw Your Shrimp Like This<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s everything you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-content.omahasteaks.com\/thawing\/\">thaw your shrimp<\/a> in a matter of minutes: A colander, a large bowl (large enough to hold colander), and cool water. Simply place your colander in in the large bowl. Remove your frozen shrimp from its bag and pour it into your colander. Fill the bowl and colander with cool water, submerging your shrimp. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">After five minutes, check on your shrimp. Do they bend easily and now show a slight translucency? If yes, your shrimp have thawed, pat them dry with a paper towel in preparation for cooking. If no, dump old water and re-submerge your shrimp in fresh, cool water for another 5-10 minutes. Repeat this method until thawed. Pat dry before cooking.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Thawing Note:<\/i><\/b><i> You\u2019ll know your shrimp has thawed when it is firm - not solid - and flexible. Check its progress with by gently wiggling the tail forward and back. The shrimp is ready to cook if it bends easily with little resistance. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Saute Your Shrimp Like This<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s how to saute shrimp on your stovetop like a pro. Pull out a large skillet. Add a 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil and apply medium heat. If desired, add garlic and\/or onions to your skillet and cook until soft. This will infuse your shrimp with an extra depth of savory flavor. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Sprinkle your shrimp with a dash of salt, pepper, and the seasoning of your choice. Place them in your skillet, evenly spaced, and saute your shrimp 4-5 minutes, or until the meat is opaque and bright pink with a firm texture. Remove from skillet and plate as you please.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Cooking Note:<\/b> <i>Most shrimp show a translucent blue color when raw. This blue hue gives way to bright pink and red as the shrimp cooks. However, some shrimp varieties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/product\/Wild-Argentinian-Red-Shrimp-1-16-oz-02914?SRC=RZ0638\">Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp<\/a>, for example) are red even when raw. Know your shrimp variety before cooking, so you can accurately gauge whether your shrimp are fully cooked.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Other Ways to Cook Shrimp<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a
