Thaw shrimp. Open beer. Drink. Eat.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Cooked frozen shrimp are amazing because they require 0 effort. Lazy girl's best friend!0 -
I used to just eat them microwaved in a bowl with just butter salt and pepper. Argh, so good!0

very pleased with how simple all of these ideas are thank you guys!0

When you quit your job, cut the shrimp into little pieces and hide them carefully all over your soon-to-be-former workplace.0

It isn't the lowest fat option, but I like to mix about a pound of the thawed, precooked shrimp with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 2 or 3 ounces of grated cheese, like monterey jack or mild cheddar, then season with Sriracha sauce (or not). Heat it just until the cheese melts. It's good alone or on toast.0

Peel and saute with garlic butter or with ginger/sweet chili sauce (The Ginger People).
Peel and sauté with garlic and olive oil, add pepper or chili if you want and serve on pasta or rice.0 -

This isn't the lowest cal or fat option, but I make shrimp fettuccine Alfredo.
I thaw them and then toss them into the pasta right before serving.
You could use a lighter sauce like garlic butter and use whole wheat pasta.
I'm a carboholic so I also make Parker House rolls and serve with a Riesling wine along with veggies for a nice dinner.
A couple of laughing cow cheese wedges at 35 cal. each plus a little milk makes an awsome, lo-cal "instant Alfredo."0 -
I stir fry them with oriental mix of vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, beans, onions, etc) and put them on rice.
Simple, fast and sooo yummy.0 -
I like to sautee red bell pepper, a clove of garlic, some red onion and a zuccini in a little bit of reduced fat low sodium chicken broth then mix in the shrimp and heat after the veggies are cooked through, then I put half a avocado, some salsa and reduced fat sour cream or fat free greek yogurt on top, mix it all up and enjoy0

I usually top a caesar salad with them...and then add a bit of bbq sauce.0

I make a quick shrimp scampi. I thaw them under cold water, then toss them in a pan of melted butter, lemon juice and garlic and parsley to warm them up, serve over brown rice. You don't want to really cook them long because they will get tough, they are already cooked. Just cook long enough that they warm through.0
