Can stuffed shrimp be baked while still frozen?

* Uneven Cooking: Frozen shrimp will take much longer to cook than fresh or thawed shrimp. The filling might be overcooked while the shrimp remains frozen inside.

* Texture Issues: The shrimp will likely become rubbery and tough if baked from frozen.

* Food Safety: Frozen shrimp may not reach a safe internal temperature throughout if baked from frozen, increasing the risk of foodborne illness.

Instead, always thaw your stuffed shrimp thoroughly before baking. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Once thawed, you can bake them according to the recipe instructions.
