    Sounds good.

    A while back I bought a few pound bag of frozen cooked shrimp. They
    were good just defrosted. More recently I bought a bag of shrimp but
    did not realized they were not cooked.

    So, Sunday night I followed instruction and boiled some. Edible, not
    much more. Today, I defrosted and fried some in butter. Slightly
    better, but not top notch.

    Still have a bunch, not sure what to try next.

    Do you, or your neighbors have any dogs?

    If dogs won't eat them, you'll just have to bury them in the back yard.

    Or maybe Dave can take then and spread them out at a fast food joint.

    Damn, has it been renamed yet again? Seems just a few weeks ago it was
    gulf of mexico but got renamed to gulf of america. Now it's the fucking
    gulf of trump?

    I'm not surprised. but it happened faster than I expected.

    Wow. That was even faster than the elon romance. The only thing that
    seems constant these days is the Putin romance. A love that will endure
    the ages.

    They are Argentine red shrimp, supposedly some of the best.

    The boiled ones I may have overcooked slightly so will try again. Only
    other thing I can think of, they did not pay the Trump tariffs when
    imported.

    As their name suggests, Red Argentinian shrimp are a bright, gorgeous
    red color even when they're raw. That beautiful, deep color comes from
    their nutrient-rich ecosystem. And because of their all-natural,
    cold-water habitat, they have a fresh, clean, sweet flavor. They're
    known to be the sweetest shrimp in the world.

    That's your problem right there. Send trump some money before you cook
    any more of those expensive shrimp. Then, they'll be fine.

    I think I'd like them, even if they were a bit overcooked. But I like
    all shrimp, cooked in all ways.

    For Leo's shrimp bisque you first have to find out which shrimp are
    communists and feed those to the dog.

    I do something similar. I use olive oil and lemon juice, salt, pepper,
    a good dash of Worcestershire sauce, chopped parsley, ketchup and lots
    of chopped garlic. Marinate for about an hour. I recommend skewering
    them to make it easier to turn them. They only need a minute or two per
    side.

    First time I made these I didn't use two skewers to make them
    secure so when I tried to flip them to the other side, of course
    all they did was spin on those skewers. Next time I used two
    skewers so they did not do a pole dance when I flipped them.
    I've since switched to flat skewers.

    Salad, without chicken. But with fresh bread.

    Lunch was Szechuan tofu, hot and sour soup, crab Rangoon, and

    Sounds good.

    A while back I bought a few pound bag of frozen cooked shrimp. They
    were good just defrosted. More recently I bought a bag of shrimp but
    did not realized they were not cooked.

    So, Sunday night I followed instruction and boiled some. Edible, not
    much more. Today, I defrosted and fried some in butter. Slightly
    better, but not top notch.

    Still have a bunch, not sure what to try next.

    Try defrosting the uncooked shrimp in brine.

    2 cups boiling water
    1/2 cup kosher salt
    3 pints cold water (1/3 of it ice if kitchen is over 70 F)
    2 pounds frozen shrimp

    Dissolve salt in boiling water. It might not all dissolve.
    Add cold water; keep stirring until salt is completely dissolved.
    Add frozen shrimp. It might take about 45 minutes to defrost them;
    keep an eye on them and drain the brine when the shrimp are defrosted.
    Rinse excess brine away. Or not. I don't.

    I rarely defrost 2 pounds of shrimp at a time, but I usually make
    the same amount of brine nonetheless. Half a cup of salt is cheap.

    Steaming. Shrimp take well to that. Be careful to not over steam
    them. 6 minutes is optimal for them generally but biiger ones may need
    10 minutes.
