How long can shrimp last frozen?

Here we go:

To freeze fresh shrimp, freeze shrimp raw, with shell on, and completely submerged in water! This prevents freezer burn and drying out, and retains flavor and texture. Use heavy-duty freezer bags or Tupperware or any container that will hold water without puncturing. Freeze in amounts that you plan to use for each meal. Raw headless shrimp in the shell maintain quality during freezing longer than frozen, cooked shrimp and are best if frozen at the peak of freshness. Frozen raw shrimp maintains quality for approximately 6-7 months though it can be kept longer, whereas home frozen cooked shrimp begin to lose quality after approximately one month.
