How to tell if shrimp is already cooked and what to do with it? I have some shrimp. Not sure if this is raw, and what to do with it to make it safe for eating. I'm not looking for a recipe, but a method of preparing these shrimp. I know how to peel shrimp, am I to boil them? Fry them? Do they look raw to you? Can I eat raw shrimp? If not, do I boil them? Thanks!
If you look at the label, you see "CKD SHRIMP..." which I read as "cooked shrimp".

Even without the label, you have two indicators for cooked:


the colour: raw shrimp are greyish-green, they turn pink when cooked
the body shape: raw shrimp have a more "stretched" body, they curl up during cooking.
