Notes
TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. TO FREEZE: You can freeze the shrimp in freeze-safe bags and store them for several months. However, it could compromise the texture after thawing. TO REHEAT: Because shrimp doesn't smell fishy, you can also meal prep it beforehand. For reheating, stir-fry it with some oil or butter briefly. If taken to work, you can heat in the microwave quickly. Rest assured; shrimp don’t have an unpleasant fishy smell, so it’s safe to heat in your office kitchen.
