💡 DKL Tip

To turn these shrimp into the real star of the meal, take advantage of their butterfly cut by placing a mixture of butter, garlic, lemon, and fine herbs directly on the meat before cooking.

The cut allows the seasoning to perfectly coat the meat while creating a particularly appetizing presentation.

DKL Tip: The less you complicate the seasoning, the more you let their naturally sweet taste stand out.

❄️ Storage

Keep frozen at -18°C or lower and respect the date indicated on the packaging.

After thawing, keep in the refrigerator and cook promptly.

Once cooked, keep the shrimp in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume quickly.

💧 Recommended Thawing

In the refrigerator

Place the shrimp in a covered container and let them thaw in the refrigerator for about 8 to 12 hours, ideally overnight.

Quick method

Place the shrimp in an airtight bag and submerge it in cold water for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Avoid hot water, which could start to cook their delicate meat.

After thawing, pat the shrimp dry before seasoning. This will help achieve a better sear.

🔥 How to cook Argentine pink butterfly shrimp?

These shrimp are raw and must be fully cooked before consumption.

Since they are naturally pink even when raw, observe the texture of the meat: it must become opaque.

♨️ On the stovetop

Preheat the stove to 450°F (232°C).

Place the shrimp in an appropriate baking dish.

Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on their size and your appliance, until the meat is completely opaque.

🔥 On the BBQ

Preheat the BBQ to about 450°F (232°C).

Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, monitoring the cooking process closely.

For even more flavor, brush the meat with garlic butter before placing them on the BBQ.

🍳 In a pan

Heat a pan with a little butter or oil.

Place the shrimp meat-side down on the hot surface and cook for a few minutes, then flip them to finish cooking.

Remove them when the meat is completely opaque.

🔥 On the griddle

Preheat the griddle well.

Add a little butter or oil and sear the shrimp quickly.

The butterfly cut provides a nice contact surface for flavorful cooking.

🌬️ In the air fryer

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer, without overcrowding the basket.

Brush them lightly with butter or oil and add your seasonings.

Cooking time varies depending on the size of the shrimp and the power of the appliance. Check the cooking process regularly and remove them when the meat is completely opaque.

👩🍳 Chef's advice

Avoid overcooking.

Cooking for too long can make the meat firmer and rubbery.

After thawing, pat the shrimp dry before cooking. For a simple and flavorful preparation, add butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley directly into the opening created by the butterfly cut.
