Chef's Notes

Keep uncooked shrimp in the freezer. To thaw and peel frozen shrimp, place in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes, occasionally breaking up frozen clumps with your hands. After 15 minutes, the shrimp will be thawed enough to peel. By the time you finish peeling them, they will have thawed completely.
