Notes
Storage
Fridge: In an airtight container in the fridge, these shrimp will stay fresh for about 3 days. To try to keep them tender, we recommend reheating leftover shrimp in a skillet on the stove top, not in the microwave. Add a little extra butter, if needed.
Freezer: Freeze in airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, allow to thaw in the fridge completely and then reheat in skillet.
