While it’s best to thaw frozen shellfish in the refrigerator overnight, I’d be lying if I said I’ve always remembered to do so. Don’t worry — you can have your shrimp ready to bread in under 10 minutes! Empty the bag into a colander and rinse the shellfish until cold running water for 7-8 minutes. Toss them every few minutes to help each piece break apart. Once softened, pat dry with a paper towel.
