CAN YOU MAKE THEM AHEAD?

Shrimp aren’t the easiest thing to cook. They aren’t the most difficult either, as long as you follow a good recipe, such as this one. When working with a delicate ingredient like this, it’s best to cook the shrimp just before serving them, for the freshest and tastiest result.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Leftovers should go in an airtight container in the fridge and be eaten within a couple of days. Since shrimp are so delicate, you might like to eat leftovers chilled rather than risk overcooking them by reheating them. If you do want to reheat them, be careful not to overdo things.

VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS:

This recipe works with any kind of seafood, such as scallops, langoustines, clams, or a seafood mix. It’s especially amazing if you spot some jumbo shrimp on offer. This recipe is fabulous for turning juicy jumbo shrimp into an incredible seafood meal.
