Can you freeze boiled shrimp

Of course. Ideally with a vacuum sealer.

I'll take them off your hands!! =)

I've never frozen them after boiling. I freeze them fresh all the time - I know a commercial shrimper and from time to time if he has extra he'll call me and I'll get a bunch.

For those, get a good legit gallon size freezer bag (get ziplock brand, not the generic brands or store brands). Cut off the heads and throw the bodies (in the shell and all) into the gallon size ziplock - 2 lbs at a time. Add water to bag, enough to cover them. Tightly seal them - getting all the air out - you want the bag to lay flat with water covering all the shrimp - and freeze laying the bags flat.

Gonna freeze and make a dip in a week or so

Make sure to come back and let us know how the shrimp came out. The only way I've ever frozen shrimp is raw, head off, and packed in water.

Pretty sure I can. Just need to get them below 32 or so.

yes but you have to seal them air tight so they dont dry out

when defrosted half the seasoning will go away like you rinsed them in water because the ice/frost when it defrosts

the best way to defrost is mix crawfish boil seasoned water and let it defrost in that to prevent the flavors from fading. you can boil some fresh sides with it at the same time and then drop in the frozen shrimp when those are done
