Don’t put the shrimp in the refrigerator right away after you buy it. Do this extra step and the shrimp will stay fresh and delicious for a whole month without losing its flavor

1. The Prep and Initial Freeze
Rinse and Pat Dry: Immediately upon bringing your shrimp home, rinse it gently under cold water and then pat it lightly with paper towels to remove excess surface moisture.

Arrange and Flash Freeze: Lay the shrimp out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes, just until the shrimp is firm to the touch but not completely frozen solid. This prevents the shrimp from clumping together in the final glaze step.

2. The Critical Glaze
Prepare the Ice Water Bath: Fill a medium bowl with ice-cold water.

Dip and Glaze: Take the semi-frozen shrimp off the baking sheet and quickly dip each piece into the ice water. The cold temperature of the shrimp will cause a thin film of water to instantly freeze on its surface.
