How do real humans defrost shrimp? Colander in the fridge has never once worked for me. Is this like cooking chicken to 165° (cowardly USDA propaganda)?

I usually do a colander on the counter or sometimes an immersion circulator in ice water.

I've not heard of using a colander in the fridge.... That seems unsanitary.

Colander in the sink with running water is how I defrost shrimp. Takes < 5 minutes.

@scrambo I think the recommendation is to put the colander in a bowl. You’re not just letting the shrimps water drip everywhere :-). Anyway, running water sounds like the way to go. Thanks
