Chef's Tips & Notes
Pro Tips
- •Shrimp cooks extremely fast; watch them closely so they don't become rubbery.
- •Serve over zucchini noodles (zoodles) or cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
- •Make sure shrimp are patted completely dry before cooking so they sear instead of steam.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezing
Not recommended to freeze cooked shrimp.
Meal Prep
Best eaten immediately. Reheating shrimp can make them tough.
