@jakedduck1 , are you saying you attempted to cook a steak in a toaster? what an idea! you are too funny
I'm online this afternoon trying to figure out how to cook raw shrimp. I ordered raw shrimp (instead of cooked) by mistake and raw shrimp were delivered. I've never cooked raw shrimp but I'll have to figure this out! The instructions I found say to thaw the frozen raw shrimp in the refrigerator, not on the counter, so no shrimp for me tonight. Maybe tomorrow... I hadn't thought of putting them in the toaster 🙂

Hi,
You can thaw frozen shrimp in cold water...keep changing out the water so it doesn’t get warm. Just thaw the amount you need..very fast. Don’t overcook the shrimp whichever way you decide to cook it. It cooks very fast. You will taste the difference between cooked and fresh frozen shrimp and never buy cooked shrimp again.

@Erinmfs Don't put it in the toaster horrible smell. After its thawed just add it to boiling water till it turns pink . I use to have to cook those jumbo shrimps for a client . ug
Hi @Erinmfs Erin - I'm with @imallears - fresh is so much better than frozen you'll want that in the future. However, if you have frozen shrimp, thaw as she suggested. It won't take long. Then, I would heat some olive oil/canola oil mix then add the shrimp. Season with some garlic powder and a little sea salt. Cook no more than 2-3 minutes per side. It doesn't take long and if you cook too long they will get a rubbery texture. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Shrimp, yuck!! I’d throw it out if I were you. I know I’m the odd ball but I don’t care for fish or seafood.
