Storage and Serving

  • Leftover simmered shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, gently warm the shrimp in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.
  • Serve the simmered shrimp as an appetizer with cocktail sauce or as a main course with a side of rice or pasta. It also pairs well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
