NBR: wwyd re: shrimp cocktail

This coming weekend is my annual Girls Weekend with my BFFs.  One thing I'm responsible for bringing is shrimp cocktail.  I need to buy shrimp on Thursday afternoon on my way home from work, and we're not eating it until Saturday afternoon.  Should I buy fresh or frozen?  I'm buying pre-cooked shrimp, by the way - we won't have time to cook them.

I would normally always buy fresh, but I would also normally buy them no longer than 24 hours before I'm planning to eat them.  I know that frozen shrimp will thaw within minutes if you run them under cold water, so I'm leaning toward that.  There is a slim chance I will be able to stop at the fish market on Friday morning on my way out - is that too soon to buy fresh for Saturday afternoon?

  • I would just buy them pre-cooked and frozen.

  • I'd say buy the frozen precooked ones.  It just seems easier.

  • Most often the "fresh" ones are just frozen ones that have been unthawed, just get the frozen ones.

    But thanks for weighing in!  :)

    Thanks everyone, I think I'll just buy the frozen ones from the grocery when I go on Thursday instead of making another stop on Friday morning.

    Oh. This makes me sad. How are we even friends???

    Of course, most people have the same reaction when they find out I don't like cheese.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    Cheese makes me poop.  How can you eat seafood?  Most of it has a face and looks back at you.
