Can you help me with shrimp?!


Question:

Can you help me with shrimp?

i bought frozen cooked shrimp with no tails. i should've bought raw, but i didn't. i have a buffalo chicken sauce.can i heat the sauce and add thawed shrimp? i'm afraid to overcook them. i thought if the sauce was hot, i could add shrimp and warm it without hurting the texture too much.
what else can i do with the shrimp? i'm not a big fan of cocktail sauce. i'm have a few friends over tonight and wanted to use it. i stirred a few in a mexican style sauce and my husband had shrimp burritos. he liked that.

The food network link looks good, but may take some wading through. Here are some quick things.

A good sauce for boiled shrimp is to mix half mustard and half mayo. Spicy brown mustard works well for this. Very different from cocktail sauce.

If you want something easy to do with raw shrimp, cook some in a skillet with a little olive oil and a little fresh garlic. Then serve over pasta with alfredo sauce. You can tell it's done when it's all pink.
