How to Defrost Shrimp and Scallops 

Part of our Defrost Friday series, we talk about the best way to defrost individually quick frozen (IQF) seafood, such as shrimp and scallops. When you look at shrimp or scallops in a KnowSeafood package and each are loose in the package, you'll see that they are blast frozen a little differently than our individually packed seafood, such as salmon. After the shrimp and scallops go through the freezing tunnel, they get dipped in water. When they come out of the water, they go through the tunnel again. Why? This helps stop the shrimp and scallops from getting freezer burn. All of our shrimp and scallops are individually quick frozen with a glaze.
Defrosting an IQF product is different. Watch this video to learn what we recommend for the best way to defrost for dinner tonight.
