Storing/Reheating Leftovers
Wait, you think there’s going to be leftovers for this recipe? Hahaha. Ok, but if there is (but there won’t be)….
Store your leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly, your baked shrimp can last up to 3-4 days.
When reheating the leftovers of this baked shrimp recipe, you can use the oven or microwave. If using an oven, preheat to 300 degrees F. Add a couple of tablespoons of warm water to your pan and then cover it with foil. Then, let it bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
If you’re reheating in a microwave, you will need to heat the shrimp for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Just make sure to check the middle and feel if it’s still cold or not.
To reheat in an air fryer, set it to 300 degrees F. Spray the bottom of the basket with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Do not stack the shrimp but ensure it’s in a single layer for best results. Bake on both sides for two minutes or longer. Or set for 4-5 minutes without flipping.
Crispy Oven Baked Shrimp FAQs
- How do you crisp shrimp?
In this recipe, it is all about the bread crumb mixture, the melted butter, and baking in the oven. Once it’s baked, the breadcrumbs will blend in with the butter and bake into the crispy shrimp you’re hoping for.
- How do you cook cooked shrimp?
Let’s talk about reheating and cooking cooked shrimp. If you’ve bought precooked shrimp, the good news is it won’t take long to cook. Generally, it should take up to six minutes to cook. However, since this recipe calls for baking and the goal is to create a crispy texture, it will bake longer.
- How can I add more flavor to my shrimp?
If you’d like to add even more flavor, consider adding black pepper and/or red pepper flakes. This will add a kick of heat and spice to your shrimp and bring another element of flavor to your dish.
