💧 How to thaw Argentine red shrimp?

Recommended method: in the refrigerator

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

Once thawed, drain them and gently pat off excess moisture before cooking.

Quick thawing

Place the shrimp in an airtight bag and submerge them in cold water for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Change the water as needed to keep it cold.

⚠️ To avoid

Avoid hot water: it can start cooking the outside of the shrimp before you are ready.

For a better texture, prefer gradual thawing in the refrigerator.

🔥 How to cook Argentine red shrimp?

The most important rule is simple:

do not overcook them.

Their delicate meat requires a relatively short cooking time.

And above all, remember this:

👉 The Argentine red shrimp is naturally pink even when raw.

Color alone is therefore not a reliable indicator of doneness.

The meat should turn opaque and reach a safe internal temperature.

🌡️ Internal temperature

Cook to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).

🍳 Pan cooking

Thaw and pat the shrimp dry.

Preheat a pan with a little butter or oil.

Add the shrimp without overcrowding the pan.

Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, depending on their size, until the meat is opaque and reaches 63°C (145°F).

💡 Suggestion: butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley form a very simple combination that highlights the shrimp.

🔥 BBQ cooking

Preheat the barbecue.

Lightly oil the shrimp or the grill to prevent sticking.

Quickly grill the shrimp, turning them halfway through.

Remove them when the meat is opaque and the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).

Tip: watch them closely. A shrimp of this size can quickly go from tender to overcooked.

🌬️ Air fryer cooking

Thaw and pat the shrimp dry.

Season lightly and arrange them in a single layer in the basket.

The exact time will vary depending on the size of the shrimp and the device used.

Check doneness quickly and remove them as soon as the meat is opaque and the center reaches 63°C (145°F).

🔥 Flat-top grill (plancha) cooking

A very hot flat-top grill allows for quick cooking.

Add a little oil or butter, then sear the shrimp briefly on each side.

Garlic, lemon, paprika, parsley, or a touch of chili go particularly well with their slightly sweet flavor.

♨️ Stove cooking

The shrimp can also be incorporated into a dish cooked on the stove.

To avoid overcooking them, generally add them towards the end of preparation and verify that they reach 63°C (145°F) before serving.

🍲 Slow cooker

The slow cooker is generally not the preferred method for cooking these shrimp for several hours, as their delicate meat can become firm.

If you are preparing a chowder, soup, or saucy dish in the slow cooker, instead add the shrimp towards the end of the cooking time and continue until they are completely cooked.

👩🍳 Chef's tip

With Argentine red shrimp, simplicity works wonders.

Butter, garlic, lemon, fine herbs, and a pinch of salt allow you to highlight their natural flavor without masking it.

For a nice sear, carefully pat the shrimp dry after thawing before placing them in a hot pan or on a hot flat-top grill.

⚠️ Errors to avoid

• Relying solely on color: this shrimp is naturally pink when raw.
• Overcooking them: excessive cooking can unnecessarily firm up their meat.
• Using hot water for thawing.
• Putting too many shrimp in the pan at once, which can hinder searing.
• Forgetting to pat the shrimp dry before grilling or searing.
