- Add the shrimp into the skillet, saute over medium heat, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp is cooked through.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the shrimp: Shrimp overcook quickly, so it is vital to keep an eye on it as it cooks. You don’t want the shrimp to be rubbery.
- Storage. Keep leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, and store for up to 3 days.
- Reheat. Warm up the shrimp in a pan or in the microwave until reheated.
- Freeze. Store the shrimp for longer by freezing it! Add the shrimp to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat: Thaw the shrimp in the fridge overnight and reheat on the pan until warm.
