It was good to get those shrimp out of the freezer and dealt with... and I learned I just don't want to deal with head on shrimp any more. Plus being labeled as "de veined" but only maybe half were??
I used about 1/4 cup of Old Bay to a gallon or so of water. There was no freezer burn or off taste, and the Old Bay was not overwhelming.
Hubby helped me peel and then looked at me confused when I washed my hands and went to the computer. He asked wasn't I cooking, and I said not right now, I was just prepping but if you want to finish them in butter you go ahead. Which he did, a little too long so they were chewy but edible and that was the point or at least dinner and freezer clean out was the point and that was certainly accomplished!
