Instructions

Cooking frozen shrimp in the air fryer

  1. In the air fryer basket, place the frozen shrimp. They don’t need to be defrosted.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Depending on the size and whether or not they’re pre-cooked, cook for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, if desired. Alternatively, you could mix it with a teriyaki sauce.

Boiling frozen shrimp

  1. Bring a big pot half-filled with water to a boil.
  2. Submerge the frozen shrimp in the saucepan fully.
  3. Cook for 2–5 minutes, depending on the size of the pot.
  4. Drain the shrimp and set it aside. Optional seasonings, such as salt and pepper, can also be sprinkled on top.

Cooking frozen shrimps in the instant pot

  1. In the Instant Pot, place a steamer basket.
  2. Toss in the shrimp and the water. Then close the lid.
  3. Set the Instant Pot to “Pressure Cooking” and then “High” pressure. Set the timer for 0 minutes.
  4. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure cycle to complete.
  5. The steam will come out of the vent if you open the Quick Release.
  6. Open the lid when there is no more steam coming out. Drain the liquid and remove the prawns. Optional seasonings or sauce can be added for extra taste. Serve your shrimp and enjoy.

Steaming frozen shrimp

  1. Fill a big saucepan with water up to 1 inch. Let the water come to a boil.
  2. In the pot, place the steamer basket.
  3. Toss the shrimp into the steamer basket with kitchen tongs. Cover and steam for 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the dish.
  4. Serve with additional seasonings as desired and enjoy your shrimp.

Making frozen shrimp sous vide

  1. Pour water into a big saucepan till it gets full, then attach the sous vide precision cooker to the pot. Keep the temperature at 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a zip-top bag, season the frozen shrimp with salt and pepper.
  3. Seal the bag with the “water displacement” method, which entails sealing all the corners except for one and slowly placing the bag in a pot of water. Make sure the area below the zip-line is completely submerged in water. The rest of the bag should then be sealed. If you have a vacuum sealer, ensure to use it. Make sure everything is arranged in a single layer. Use additional bags if the bag you’re using isn’t big enough.
  4. Place the vacuum-sealed bag in the water bath once the temperature reaches 140 F and set the timer for 30 minutes. Make sure the shrimp are thoroughly submerged in the water. If it’s floating, use a hefty kitchen item to weigh it down.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the bag when the timer goes off. If required, season with additional seasoning agents.
