- Refrigerator thawing: This typically takes between 8-12 hours or overnight. This method is a slower process, but it helps to preserve the shrimp’s texture and flavor.
- Cold water thawing: This method is when you place your shrimp in a zip top bag and submerge it into a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This is a much faster method of thawing your shrimp.
Avoid room temperature thawing as it can lead to uneven temperatures. And don't forget to pat your shrimp dry after thawing to remove excess moisture!
