Sous Vide Shrimp like a crab boil?

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I been using my sous vide a lot lately. Found a 3 -4 " ribeye in freezer that was a couple years old. Smoked it with Hardcore Carnivore Black and got 5 meals from it reheating with sous vide. Yesterday did sous vide lobster. Always wanted to try shrimp. Guess would need to take shells off as not to puncher the bag? Thinking of adding water and seasoning like a crab boil to bag with shrimp than could cook as long a wanted to without over cooking shrimp? What do you think? I do have an old Inkbird sous vide that keeps shutting off but might make it work long enough be able to just use in in the seasoned water. My thinking is will be able to get more flavoring in the shrimp and have perfectly cooked shrimp.

If they are something like EZ Peel Shrimp, Id leave the shells on to hold the flavor next to the meat, otherwise, I say go for it and see how it turns out!

Not really sure why you would need nor want to SV shrimp? They cook very fast. They get rubbery if in heat to long IMO. But you never know. Maybe SV would take shrimp to another level. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.

In for this one. Have been wanting to try myself but can tell you that there are LOTS of people into SV seafood. Supposedly the ultimate method. I personally want to try some that have been marinated with clam juice and Old Bay but Red Fish Magic is typically my go to. Do not think shrimp will be too much hard to a vac bag tho. Maybe king grab tho.
