how do you prepare Shrimp?

How do you prepare Shrimp, maybe preferably a cocktail as I imagine it would be more simple, less time consuming.

The thing is that a very nice friend who likes to buy us stuff gave us this 'Kroger's cocktail Shrim with Sauce' pre-peeled and deveined, it's a 40 count Ring very similar to this one and this one. But since we never prepare seafood here at home, we are not sure what to do with them, I guess we could prepare fresh cocktails with clamato, lemon and what not, but I would like to see if you can give some ideas.

Oh and also, we put the shrimp in the freezer as soon as we got it, and the package says it's good until Nov 2011, wich seems a long time to me for seafood.
Will the shrim be ok if we prepare it, say a couple of weeks from now.

Ok thanks guys.

bleh if their in a ring its prob pre-cooked, pre-cooked shrimp is nasty, well to me it is. there is not much you can do wiith precooked shrimp except make cold dishes. just throw em in some sauce and eat em.

or make ceviche, number one food to eat while drinking or whenever. if frozen food is sealed right it can stay for long ass mutherfuckin periods of god damn time

Break it to it gently that you are going to boil it in water.

And it will whisper back gently, "I've already been cooked. Fuckstick."

yeah well, as I mentioned that was our first thought, fresh cocktail; or ceviche, I hadn't thought of that, and we like ceviche.
or se

Ceviche is made from uncooked seafood.
Your shrimp has already been cooked and is ready to eat NOW.

How did the gift of some cocktail shrimp become such a dilemma?

Cocktail shrimp and danger. Nice mix.

ON TOPIC: I would throw them in a colander, carefully rinse in cold water and separate the shrimp, dry them thoroughly with a paper towel and a bit of hand held pressure (wringing), toss them in sauce, or on top of a salad. Serve near ground-level and behind thick enough walls to stop any low-velocity gunfire in the neighborhood. Enjoy!
