- 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.
I followed your instructions, was thawed in half hour, dried as much as possible, quick pan sear and they came out beautifully! Thank you!
"I don't wanna cross contaminate."
Proceeds to cross contaminate everything anyway.
I came to the comments just to find and like this specific comment.
@@IndapussJenkins saaame, i was like well i guess he thinks a tiny bit of contamination will just cook off! LOL I was thinking in my head, using a papertowel underneath the raw shrimp would make it contaminated, maybe im just too paranoid? haha guess not!
I'm a fish snob. I hope he washed his hands after shaking it off
hands must have a special anti-microbial glaze on them 😆
@audenharper3014 People who use antibacterial soaps are poorly informed. Serious scientific studies have proved that the resistance to antibiotics is caused directly by using antibacterial soaps. Your body reacts to the low dose soaps and starts to develop immunity. Those soaps should outlawed
This is such an informative video, its crazy how easy it is to overlook the thawing process but it really leads to a better scallop.
This is very informative video, that everyone should know, may be printed on the the package of the product.
Thank you for the very informative video. I just bought a bunch of Key West shrimp that was frozen and wanted to make sure I thawed correctly~
GREAT! Saved me from making a mess with a new product.........THANKS.
Outstanding vid sir. Answered all my questions, and you have class and humility. Immediately subbed.
I will try this today! I'm hopeful this will help me make perfectly seared scallops🤞
Thank you never knew this i always thaw in water or in the fridge in a bowl or in the bag
I appreciate you so much!! This is a wonderful video! Learned some great things from you
Finally, I find out why the few times I tried making a shrimp dish it always tasted like crap.
Very educational! Ty for the detailed explanation.
Brilliant! Thanks!
This was very informative
Glad I watched.
I watched this because I felt that my mushy shrimp might be my fault.
Very informative thank you
Very informative. Thank you
That was simple and easy. Thank you.
You are my hero
Excellent! Thanks
Holy crap dude can yap.
Deglaze under cool water, once deglazed dry with paper towel and sit aside to thaw. Will thaw quickly.
Hopefully this saved you 4 minutes of mindless chatter.
Yeah, should call this channel Jabber Jaws Seafood
Awesome video
“Don’t want to cross contaminate!”
*uses a paper towel from under the raw seafood*
Thanks
Interesting information. Thanks.
Fabulous! Thanks 🙏
What about shrimp and scallops that were tightly vacuum packed before getting blast frozen?
Following the less water train of thought, wouldn't it be wiser to put those cooked shrimp on top of the ice and cover the whole thing in plastic wrap. The shrimp at the bottom of the ice would be constantly bathed in water as the ice melts. Whereas the shrimp on top of the ice stays dry. The covering of plastic wrap will prevent air flow and help keep the shrimp cold and increase the longevity of the ice.
Very informative, thank you. So you can just defrost cooked peeled frozen shrimps and eat them cold in salad or mayo without the need to recook them ?
Yes that is correct!
@@KnowSeafood thank you:)
I love you sir
Oh the unctuous sincerity...please add more "glaze" because I like paying that much for water.
Is it bad that I defrosted them over a radiator?
Why would you do that? Put them in cold water
@@meggie423 probably because I have ADHD or I just didn't know but thank you for your reply.
Bless you
What you came here for is at 4:40 you’re welcome …
Is there any but water in the “glaze”?
Freezing in that way also adds excess weight to the product.
After watching your video, bty, Great video. I saw Kroger had IQF Scallops for sale. Ingredients included Scallops, Water and Sodium Tripolyphosphate. Why?
Sodium tripolyphosphate is an addictive that keeps the shrimp more moist. American Test Kitchen recommendations to avoid it for flavor reasons.
So handle the uncooked and then the cooked to avoid contamination?
There was a clip trim, the cooked never touched the raw....
Can you use that same method for the cook shrimp with the ice?
Yes you can! I do it all the time
He looks like if Jordan Peterson and Tom Hanks had a baby together.
very useful video. could have covered this in 60seconds. But hey....
I know! Sometimes i just cant help myself but im trying hard!
I checked your channel...its been 8 months and you haven't posted the 60 sec video.🤡
@@KnowSeafood great video thank you! New generation has the attention span of a tik tok....scary times ahead of us for sure.
So, I legit thought that Dermot Mulroney had made himself a TH-cam cooking channel! Am I the only one who thought this was Dermot from the picture on the video?!? Pls tell me I’m not the only person. lol.

When ever we thaw prawns commercially, we always thaw in a salted brine for at least 1 to 2 hours, always keeping it cold throughout this time.
We never ever let thaw out of water.
Im confused. Didn't he cross contaminate?
There was a clip trim, the cooked never touched the raw....
what happens if i keep running cold water on them?
they will absorb this water and become not so tasty
they'll start a riot
How to make sure shrimp for 2-3 days without a refrigerator or freezer?
If my guests aren't due for a while 3-4 hrs why not put them back in the fridge?
I've experienced that once seafood is unfrozen, it quickly begins to lose quality. Ice touching the shrimp will be much colder than the fridge. It's kind of like how you see them display it in the grocery store.
Thats what I suggest. Put them in a strainer, then ice cubes in the strainer, and put the strainer in a bowl. That way Shrimp are cold and crisp but not sitting in water from the ice!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whenever my grandma makes shrimp it has this disgusting flavor I can't put my finger on. Hopefully this will prevent that from now on.
20 mins! I don't have time for that
Adds water weight to the product so you pay for that water the same price per pound as the product. Fraud.
ll better pay for 20% water and get product that cave shelf life 2 years (and therefore cheaper) than something without a water and with short shelf life.
Fresh sea market exists for you
Absolutely no discussion regarding the scary amount of sodium they add to ALL frozen seafood including this ONE!!!
There is ALLOT of sodium in there. Now it's discussed.
Salt is Sodium Chloride, around 40% Sodium and 60% Chloride, most seafood comes from Salt Water, do you really want to start this conversation?
@@mwtriplett1 has sodium content listed on the bag if anyone actually paid attention an it's very minimal.
@c l There's minimal sodium in there. Now it's discussed. It's delicious. Let's pick this conversation up in the afterlife.
