Shrimp that were cooked already at a supermarket that are served to you hot: Directions: Put the serving of shrimp you would normally eat during a sitting of your favorite dish aside. Put the selected number of shrimp in a plastic bag. Of course you are going to do this with all of the shrimp that are left that you want to save for a later date. Fill with water, making sure that it covers your selected number of sea creatures (number of shrimp). Then put into the freezer, preferably on the side or the coldest place in your freezer. The area in your freezer that is less obstructed or not in the place where the rest of the frozen occupants are (or where they can get cold the quickest). Adding the water helps the shrimp not to get freezer burn or to be so tough that they are just rubber coasters that you forgot about and happen to put in the freezer... (who would do that?????) Anyway... Then leave until you’re ready to enjoy them once again... if they aren't frozen yet I would assume you can't wait to eat the delicious shrimp again... yummy. In my experience, they toughen ever so slightly. If you love shrimp you would hardly notice. Make sure you consume in a month or so. Mine were unseasoned as I am trying a low salt diet (500mgs a day... I didn't think I could do it... BUT I DID!!!). I just love the taste of shrimp and I season them with no salt selections. Not to say... they are probably AWESOME with salt... one could only dream. P.S. I dethawed them by putting them in the microwave 5 minutes at a time until steaming in the bag. Optional: Then I lightly cooked the shrimp with some low salt butter and seasoning (the butter lightly dusted the pan and then when melted I added the shrimp and chosen seasoning... I thought I went to the restaurant down the street... I really couldn't tell the difference... AWESOME!!!!! Best of luck to ya...
