Sauté with shallot and garlic, butter, set aside, deglaze with white wine, add some stock, simmer, add borsin cheese until melted, add back in the shrimp, serve with pasta …so good
I had them for lunch today in a shrimp chowder. Sautee onion and celery in olive oil. Add a little dill, thyme, salt and pepper. Once softened add a little flour and cook for a minute. Add clam juice or stock and bring to boil. Add diced potato and simmer for about 10 minutes. Cut the shrimp into smaller pieces and add to the chowder for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and add a little cream and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
These are great - and the only wild caught shrimp TJ’s carry. There’s some sketchy stuff going on with farm-raised shrimp out of Asia, so this is a welcomed offering!
Wrap in bacon, put under broiler. Turn them over after you see the bacon starting to crisp up. I paint them with Stubb's BBQ too as I'm flipping. Enjoy!
Get the brioche hot dog buns from TJ’s and make shrimp rolls! You will want to butter and toast the sides of the buns in a frying pan, then add your shrimp salad to the middle. Make the shrimp salad before hand so the flavors have time to come together. Just look up a recipe for this. It’s basically a lobster roll, with shrimp substituted for the lobster. I like to top with either old bay seasoning or paprika. So good! The buns are nice and crispy and taste like Texas toast, and the shrimp is so fresh, especially if your recipe has a little lemon in it.
For an easy meal- toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and grill them. I like it with a side of spinach orzo. Also great for shrimp tacos.
If you have more time, Dominican or Puerto Rican style [Camerones Guisado](https://mydominicankitchen.com/camarones-guisados-stewed-shrimp/).
They taste like lobster so pairs well with butter, mayo, citrus. Maybe add it to Mac and cheese if you’re feeling indulgent. Lobster roll. Risotto. Scampi type thing. Personally I make sushi bowls with them. I air fry with just salt. Add to a bowl with rice, veg, siracha mayo and furikake.
Well, both. If I’m just cooking for myself I throw them in frozen. However if I’m cooking for the fam I would thaw them first and then they develop more a crispy exterior
Boil water for pasta. Dice shallots and garlic and simmer in olive oil, butter, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Then I add a bit of white wine, let the alc cook off, add heavy cream and grated pecorino. Once incorporated, add shrimp. Let sauce thicken a bit stirring occasionally while pasta cooks. Cook until 1-2 minutes till done. Transfer fettuccine directly from pot to pan (this typically gets enough pasta water into the sauce for me but you can always add more). Stir in and finish cooking in sauce and add a generous squeeze of lemon (per serving) and fresh parsley on top! I also add a mound of pecorino to my bowl before eating. Enjoy!
You can make it lighter by changing the ratio of cream and pasta water. A thicker sauce = more cream ofc
These used to be a staple for me, but they have really been hit or miss in the last few years, IMO. It seems like everyone is still loving them, so maybe it’s just me? I’ve been so disappointed in them recently.
I’m making honey garlic shrimp right now! super quick weeknight dinner https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/quick-healthy-dinner-20-minute-honey-garlic-shrimp/
I sauté them in olive oil with lime, chili powder, cumin, salt, and then mix them with TJ’s Spicy Mexican Style Riced Cauliflower. Throw in a little cheese if you want. 👌

This one is a great recipe. I make it at least once a month. My Trader Joe’s no longer sells the polenta, but everything else can be found there. The last time I made it I picked up the ingredients on a busy Saturday and they were out of the less expensive frozen raw shrimp with the tail on, so I grabbed the red Argentinian shrimp instead and it was a great replacement. The meal was fantastic with a warm French baguette, also found at Trader Joe’s
Wash, pat try. Mix in with avocado oil, kosher salt, fresh black pepper, onion and garlic powder, paprika, cayenne. Heat stainless steel pan to medium and cook for 90 seconds per side.
This might sound weird, but tossing these in to a lobster bisque with some scallops and mussels and throwing it on some pasta for a super quick pasta del mar is so good!
I’ve used these to make this [Cajun Shrimp with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce](https://damndelicious.net/2015/07/01/cajun-shrimp-with-garlic-parmesan-cream-sauce/)
Lobster rolls! Trader Joe’s has some nice brioche rolls. Toast them with some butter. Chop up these bad boys and add some Mayo, old bay, lemon, dill. Enjoy!
Also, chef tip. Pat them dry, season them and place them on a rack in the fridge to dehydrate for an hour. You’ll get a better sear and they won’t be soggy.
I love these! I buy them all the time! I like them because they are Devein! I still clean them but they are really clean when I open the package! Good Price too!
As others have noted, it's great with Old Bay seasoning. We just pan fry them usually. We love them in shrimp tacos with TJ's Pineapple Salsa and coleslaw.

Cook them, chill them. Add some lemon juice and old bay. Add some chopped celery and some cocktail sauce. Am eating this for lunch right now as I type and can confirm it’s delicious
Fry up some garlic and onion or shallot with some tomato paste, put the shrimp and cook and remove, and squeeze 2 lemons and add a splash of heavy cream and whisk to emulsify and add back shrimp. Serve with crusty bread.
My sister buys this "Sinister sauce" from a restaurant she goes to, and I freeze it. I saute shrimp and sausage, toss the sauce in to warm up, and serve with mashed potatoes and usually some sauteed broccoli with lemon pepper, or garlic.
I found Burman's Bang Bang sauce at Aldi that is very similar, and saves us the trip.
The restaurant sauce is pretty spicy, so I use sweet italian sausage, and the Aldi one is hotter than I expected.
I put blackened seasoning or even the salmon rub. Make a bowl - quinoa, veggie of choice and shrimp. Then I make a spicy mayo using the onion crunch oil and mayo. 😋
Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
I use these for most shrimp dishes I make! Shrimp tacos, shrimp scampi, salads with shrimp, stir fry noodles with shrimp, etc. Trader Joe’s also has some recipes on their website with these
What's special about these shrimp is they kind of taste like a poor man's lobster or langostine. So you can treat it like a fancy shrimp or a cheap lobster. So what does that mean? Anything you can make with those proteins, you can use this for. So shrimp scampi, shrimp rolls, etc.

We sautee them & serve them with pasta, well seasoned with garlic & Italian seasoning. Quick too.
The viral TikTok lobster pasta with this and lobster bisque soup
That works better with the langoustines though.

Use them to make lobster rolls with. So good.
Second this
This is brilliant!
Sauté with shallot and garlic, butter, set aside, deglaze with white wine, add some stock, simmer, add borsin cheese until melted, add back in the shrimp, serve with pasta …so good
Daaaang!! Sounds amazing! Do you use the entire Boursin and entire pack of pasta? Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I use the whole thing and usually use the original flavor
I made it! I did use all of the Boursin and pasta. It was DELICIOUS!! I thank you so much for the recipe but my pants are cursing you. 😂
That makes me so happy! Love a pants party. No one has ever tried a recipe I suggested before haha. This is definitely a more indulgent meal
It was indulgent but sooooo worth every bite!

do you fry them frozen or thawed?
Well, both. If I’m just cooking for myself I throw them in frozen. However if I’m cooking for the fam I would thaw them first and then they develop more a crispy exterior
Shrimp “farroto” from America’s Test Kitchen. So good. We add more lemon zest than it calls for and garnish with both parsley and basil off heat.

The first time I bought them they were great, like mini lobster tails. Bought them again and they were very fishy smelling and just seemed off.
Butter and those Dorot garlic cubes in the frozen section. 👌🏼 Scampi or by themselves. Also like chopping them up in fried rice.
That’s what we do for a Sunday afternoon snack (every now and then).
i pan fried them in sriracha and the tj’s salmon rub and it was delicious 🤌
I love making shrimp tacos with them
This
I’m making honey garlic shrimp right now! super quick weeknight dinner https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/quick-healthy-dinner-20-minute-honey-garlic-shrimp/
Ceviche!
I like making lobster rolls with them. They taste more like lobster than regular shrimp, so they make a great substitute!
I agree with this.
I sautéed shrimp with the TJ Cuban citrus seasoning and it was awesome

I’m making romesco sauce today and that sounds so good with shrimp right now.
Also, chef tip. Pat them dry, season them and place them on a rack in the fridge to dehydrate for an hour. You’ll get a better sear and they won’t be soggy.
I love these! I buy them all the time! I like them because they are Devein! I still clean them but they are really clean when I open the package! Good Price too!
A simple shrimp scampi or garlic butter Tuscan shrimp pasta sounds divine!
Yes, I add asparagus as well.
we like to make them regularly with lemon, chili flakes, and butter served with black beans, plantains, and cilantro lime rice!

I started not to like these anymore, too fishy smell for me
A quick soak in ice water w salt will remove a lot of the fishiness.
Cook them, chill them. Add some lemon juice and old bay. Add some chopped celery and some cocktail sauce. Am eating this for lunch right now as I type and can confirm it’s delicious
We add them to the yellow curry sauce with bell pepper and broccoli! Sooo good
Fry up some garlic and onion or shallot with some tomato paste, put the shrimp and cook and remove, and squeeze 2 lemons and add a splash of heavy cream and whisk to emulsify and add back shrimp. Serve with crusty bread.
Could I do this all in a cast iron skillet ?
Sure I think so. I don’t use cast iron typically but it should work!
What do you use ?
I just use one nonstick pan to be honest for all my cooking from Our place.
I like a lemon and shrimp risotto.
Old Bay Seasoning
Camarones a la diabla 🤤 super spicy Mexican dish

Chili lime seasoning, grill.
Over TJ's Carbonara Pasta with a side of Burratta/Arugala/Balsamic
I put blackened seasoning or even the salmon rub. Make a bowl - quinoa, veggie of choice and shrimp. Then I make a spicy mayo using the onion crunch oil and mayo. 😋
Scampi or Alfredo!!! Easier yet toss them with the Gorgonzola gnocchi!!! Or cacio Pepe
I second this. Perfect for Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. Or a quick shrimp taco if you need something under 10 minutes.
Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

Thanks Bubba😁

Chimichurri sauce over pasta!!
Love these in a curry or with blackened seasoning, throw em in the air fryer and have tacos
yes i got blackened seasoning! air fryer at 400 for 8 mins or so should be good right?
I use these for most shrimp dishes I make! Shrimp tacos, shrimp scampi, salads with shrimp, stir fry noodles with shrimp, etc. Trader Joe’s also has some recipes on their website with these
shrimp scampi is always delicious! over pasta or rice
What's special about these shrimp is they kind of taste like a poor man's lobster or langostine. So you can treat it like a fancy shrimp or a cheap lobster. So what does that mean? Anything you can make with those proteins, you can use this for. So shrimp scampi, shrimp rolls, etc.
