I love frozen shrimp, but am really sensitive to different brands tasting "fishy" or "frozen" (I grew up near the water, so with plenty of fresh seafood). This might not be the best brand I've ever used, but it definitely ranks highly. No freezer "burned" taste and no "off" fishy taste. Just tasty shrimp that cooks quickly and evenly.
Amazon offered these as a Fresh Deal and they were a spectacular bargain. I purchased again as the shrimp were so good, sweet, succulent and tender. They were completely deveined and ready to go. I've found frozen shrimp are best if barely defrosted under running water for a minute or so then salted and let sit for several minutes. Rinse again and dry Drizzle lightly with olive oil, a bit of pepper and bake in a single layer at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes. The roasting seems to intensify their flavor and keep them tender without being watery or rubbery. I'm glad these shrimp are available and so convenient.
I like this. It was a generous portion and decent price. The only thing is although they had removed the vein, there was still many I had to clean when I defrosted to cook with. So that wasn't ok, but since the price was decent it wasn't too big of a deal.
I buy these every week. We eat a lot of shrimp. I hate tails...This are a great value and the quality is excellent. Don't ever stop selling them please.
These are great! Let them thaw a day and toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil and cook. Everybody loved this.

We have ordered this shrimp many times now and it has been very reliable in terms of quality. We've used it in jambalaya and pasta dishes primarily. Most of our recipes call for a pound of shrimp, so this bag lasts for two dishes. It's a great value price-wise too!
These were amazing. Extremely fresh, which to me is #1. I've bought shrimp so many times that smelled & tasted bad, as it was likely rancid or something. These tasted great.
Delicious shrimp on the small size once fully cooked but definitely not deveined. Took me like 30min extra to do this.
Very tasty and good price. Also comes together with a brick of dry ice, you can do some physics experiments with it.
It wasn't a bad buy and for me, It was a little cheaper than my local supermarket.
