Hey All,
Since I'm not really familiar with buying and keeping shrimp, I have a question.
I see that all shrimp is previously frozen, I guess unless you live on a coast where they can be caught live and served quickly.
When I buy them previously frozen in the store, how much fridge time do I have before I cook them? I ask because I'm making that Shrimp with Basil-Garlic Butter recipe and I just pulled the container out of the fridge - bought them Friday - to de-vein and de-shell, which I didn't have to de-vein, yay! - but they had a slight odor. Not bad, but is keeping them in the fridge for a couple days a problem?
What do you do?
Barbara
