Shrimp season is just around the corner for us in west la. I will be putting up large amount of headed shrimp this year.
Ziplock bags leak because the shrimp barbes poke holes. What type of containers do you use at home?![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

For cooking or bait?
Double ziplock bag works. I'd suggest deheading the shrimp.
For bait, I like freezing them in a Guidry's onion mix container. Works perfect

The barbes on the end of the tail poke the holes.

I have one.
First off, what ever you put into the bag must be completely dry, so you dry off a 100 qu ice chest of shrimp.

Plus I would go broke on buying papertowels.

Shrimp freeze best with the heads and without being washed. I like to use a milk containers. Fill with shrimp and water and freeze...

The shrimp I get are not washed and I head them before I put them into bags.
Do they stay good for a longer period of time with the heads on?

You dont, you give some shrimp to me, and you only need 5-7 containers.

Buy gallon jugs of water at sams or walmart.

Go get the gallon water jugs. They're like .50 a bottle at Winn Dixie.

Set of 3, 2 gallon $12.5
25 count 32 oz $16.70

Maybe for bait. Dehead and rinse. Use a cola bottle. Just cut the top off. Put shrimp in and fill with water. Freeze it.

The citric acid remaining in the carton also acts as a preservative.
