Notes
If you buy frozen shrimp, let them thaw fully before beginning this recipe.
Cooked shrimp can last 3-4 days in the fridge in a shallow container or wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
Put any leftover liquid as well into the container to prevent the shrimp from drying out when reheated. If there isn’t any leftover, add a bit of water when reheating.
The best method for reheating shrimp is on a stovetop on a low simmer.
If you want a bit of a kick, you can add some red pepper flakes to this recipe.
For the size shrimp we used, generally 4 to 6 shrimp equals a serving or 4 ounces.
