Keep frozen at -18°C until you need it — up to six months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never at room temperature, and never refreeze a piece that has fully thawed.

How to cook gunkan shrimp

Cook fast and hot. Two to three minutes a side in a hot pan is enough — shrimp turn opaque and curl into a loose C when done. A tight O means overcooked. For species background and seasonality see the FAO species profile.
