No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.

peel them

Is there an easy way to do this? That's what I wanted to avoid most of all to be honest.

[–] adrian783 9 points 10 months ago

just throw them away lol

Found my spirit animal.

Shrimp are way too labour intensive to enjoy.

[–] RBWells 4 points 10 months ago

No. It's definitely easier if you thaw them but peeling them sucks. You can make the stock above with the whole shrimps then toss 'em and save the stock to use for any seafood soup or sauce.

I buy the ones that say "easy peel raw shrimp", in future you might look for those.

You can put them in between 2 bowls with their (the bowls) rims against each other to create an oblate spheroid-ish thing, then shake it real hard for a few minutes. It should remove the shell pretty eaily, if loudly.

Edit: Sorry, turns out, that's garlic cloves. Shrimp peeling is really only easier raw. You can rip the legs off and just give a squeeze and it'll pop out of the shell. In my experience, once they're cooked the shell will break up much easier. As someone else said, a stock is your best bet if you really want to avoid peeling. I mean, technically you can eat the shell if you make sure to grind them up completely when you puree them. I've never tried anything with the shell still included, so I can't speak for the taste, but you could try a bisque if you're dead set on not peeling.

If that's too hard, maybe cooking isn't for you.
