I love a good shrimp stir fry, but sometimes the shrimp can get over cooked and chewy. Sous viding the shrimp ensures they are perfectly cooked without any risk of getting tough. Combining the sweet shrimp with a umami-filled stir fry rounds out the filling meal.

Shrimp is great when cooked from 122°F to 140°F (50°C to 60°C). I prefer it around 131°F (55°C) but my wife likes it at the higher 140°F (60°C). You really only need to heat the shrimp through, which usually takes 15 to 35 minutes.

Note: You can learn more about shrimp from my Guide to sous vide shrimp or view all my sous vide shrimp articles.

You can always peel and de-vein the shrimp yourself, but I usually pay extra money for the fish monger to do it for me. It saves 15 to 30 minutes of pulling veins out of raw shrimp, so to me it's worth the extra cost.
