Notes

Can you Sous Vide Frozen Shrimp?
Yes, you can cook frozen shrimp sous vide. Simply add the frozen shrimp to the sous vide bag along with the garlic butter (this applies to other shrimp recipes with other ingredients).
Cook frozen shrimp at the same 135°F temperature, but for a minimum of 35 minutes instead of 15 minutes. After 35 minutes just visually check the shrimp through the bag to make sure it turned red.
If some shrimp are still gray, cook for a few more minutes. REMEMBER, you can't overcook sous vide, so don't worry about cooking it too long!
