Like other frozen fish, shrimp should be kept frozen at 0°F (-18°C) or lower until ready for use.
Thaw in refrigerator, allowing sufficient slack time.
Fresh or thawed shrimp in the shell are stored on crushed ice, like whole fish.
Peeled shrimp lose soluble nutrients and flavor when stored unwrapped on ice. They should be wrapped before placing on ice or covered and simply refrigerated.
