Notes

TO STORE. Leftover sautéed shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

TO FREEZE. Allow the leftover shrimp to cool completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let the shrimp thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

TO REHEAT. Pop the leftover shrimp in the microwave and heat for 15-20 seconds or until warm.

Recipe variations

Use different spices. I gave you a basic seasoning blend, but you could make this recipe with all sorts of spices, like curry powder, cumin, paprika, old bay seasoning, or lemon pepper.
Make garlic butter shrimp. Inspired by garlic butter steak bites, swap the olive oil for unsalted butter and add a few minced garlic cloves before cooking the shrimp.
