However, defrosting shrimp is very easy: fill a large bowl
with cool water. Add the shrimp. Replace the water once or twice, gently
separating frozen shrimp that have stuck to each other. Shrimp should be fully
defrosted in about 10 minutes. Drain them using a colander, then dry on paper
towels.
If you just defrosted your shrimp and they are very cold, the
melted butter will harden as soon as you mix it into the shrimp. That’s OK – it
will melt back when baked, but when this happens, I do quickly spray the top of
the shrimp with oil before baking, just to make sure they don’t dry out.
Another option is to use olive oil instead of butter when using just-defrosted
shrimp – I tried this recipe with olive oil and it’s excellent.
