Frozen shrimp, especially when prepared "ready to eat" is so convenient. Note this is different than "cooked, ready to eat". Technically, if you want the freshest shrimp, you want it shell-on as it is flash frozen without any handling. But when there are 71-90 shrimp in a pound, going for ease isn't shameful. At least when my time is concerned. Buying it ready to eat means that the shrimp shells and even deveining is already finished.
While it's recommended that you thaw throw the bag in the fridge and let it thaw over a couple days, shrimp is flexible. You can thaw it in a colander under cold water. I try to utilize the thawing-in-the-fridge method as it saves on resources, but sometimes push comes to shove.
