Cooked shrimp meat in grocery stores
Manda Ruby
have bought cocktail shrimp - usually in sealed package but also
bought as per lb once.
How exactly is cooked shrimp meat different from cocktail shrimp? How
would you use cooked shrimp meat? I mean, would you make some a
particular dish using cooked shrimp meat or just eat it like you
would eat cocktail shrimp?

When I worked in a seafood restaurant, there were times when we couldn't
make cooked shrimp fast enough. I am not a fan of cooked shrimp, but it
is usually eaten simply by dipping the whole shrimps in cocktail sauce
and eating them. Nothing elaborate.

you buy it from a place with high turnover. It's prefectly OK to ask when it
was thawed. We frequently ask the seafood butcher to get is frozen shrimp
from the freezer in back.

I recently bought a package of frozen cooked "salad shrimp" on sale.
They are small. All you do is thaw them. I made a shrimp salad with them
using diced celery a bit of diced sweet onion and some home made pesto
mixed with a little mayo. Really tasty on a cracker as a snack.

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

Is there some reason you have to post all your threads twice?
Do you ever participate in any threads you *did't* start?
Coked shrimp are cooked shrimp. "Cocktail" is just a suggestion as to what
do with them.

I was using the exact word I saw in the ad in sale paper.

The picture does show peeled shrimp that look like they're cooked.

Is there a reason you cannot think that sometimes shit happens?

Do you own this forum to question me the way you are doing?

Is it not possible for you to answer a question w/o the drama of
antagonistic tone?

Great idea. I will do the same. There's a sale of $3.29 per lb on Sat
+Sun only. I'll ask for the frozen one if they have it.

Highly unlikely given your phrasing. If there's any red in it it has
been cooked.
