what to do with 2 lbs of leftover shrimp (cocktail) now re-frozen?
I know, never refreeze... but I didn't see my brother stick the bag of thawed pre-cooked shrimp back in the freezer. Just found it last night.
I don't really like shrimp cocktail...so what else can I do with this massive 2 lb BLOCK of shrimp? Need to use it all at once as I'll have to thaw the whole thing. They are pre-cooked and peeled (with tails still on).
Some kind of pasta?
stirfry?
help?

Try shrimp puffs. Great appetizer. The recipe's in the old (1973 I think) Joy of Cooking, but in essence it's whipped egg whites mixed with mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, finely chopped cooked shrimp and some spices. You put a dollop of the mix on a cracker and broil so it puffs up and starts to brown.

I've been wanting to try this shrimp dip out for a long time... http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/106930
Also, I think of this as being more of a summery dish, but I would eat it at anytime too! Barefoot Contessa's shrimp salad- it's amazing! http://www.leitesculinaria.com/recipe...

We make a Shrimp and Marinara sauce for pasta.
Sautee chopped shrimp with OO and garlic and white wine. Put to side with juices.
Make marinara and add shrimp and reserved juice...add a touch of cream.
Serve over pasta.

I think stirfry or a curry would be a good option.
