Shrimp Cooking Tips

Here's some general guidelines for cooking shrimp. Tips on grilling, broiling, and deep-frying.

Storing and Thawing

Sidestripe shrimp can be thawed under refrigeration about 24 hours before preparation. Shrimp blocks should be separated as they thaw to speed up thawing process. Sealed packages can be ran under cold water to speed up thawing. Shrimp are glazed with frozen water. They can be kept frozen for up to three months.

Shrimp Fishing
Sidestripe shrimp fishing is common throughout Alaska's waters, especially within Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. Sidestripe shrimp are caught using trawlers- large nets that are pulled behind shrimp boats. Sidestripes are slender and light pink with white bands down their body. Sidestripes are also known for their long antennules.
