Can I Blend Frozen Cooked Shrimp (with Skin) to Create a Soup?


I have these frozen shrimps (leftover from the holidays) and I don’t know what to do with it.

I was thinking I blend it up, and some water and stuff and it’d be like a soup.

Do you think it’d be a good idea?


Why don’t I just defrost and cook you say? because it’s already overcooked.

  • You’d be better off making stock from the shrimp, rather than trying to puree them and eat them. If they really are as far gone as you’re saying, you’ll just make a soup that tastes terrible.

    On the other hand, if you make stock by simmering them for a few hours in a pot full of water, you’ll be able to use the stock to make other dishes.
