HOW TO REHEAT SHRIMP IN THE PAN?
If you originally pan-fried your shrimp, this is a great way to warm them up. Their flavor and texture will be preserved. Here’s how:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Add a little oil or fat if you’re afraid the shrimp will stick.
- Once the pan is hot, add the prawns, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Reheat the shrimp without stirring for about 3 minutes.
- Flip the shrimp, reheat for an additional 2 minutes or until heated through, then serve.
HOW TO REHEAT SHRIMP IN THE OVEN?
Although reheating in the oven is effective and produces good results, there are some precautions you should take to prevent the shrimp from becoming dry or rubbery. Here’s how:
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- Spread the prawns on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Make sure the prawns do not overlap. You can line the baking sheet or dish with parchment paper if you’re worried the shrimp will stick.
- Cover the baking sheet or dish with aluminum foil. You can also individually wrap each shrimp if you prefer.
- Put the baking tray or dish in the oven and heat the prawns for about 15 minutes at 150°C.
- Take your shrimp out of the oven, let them cool enough, then serve!
HOW TO REHEAT SHRIMP IN THE MICROWAVE?
With the microwave, you have to be careful not to dry out your shrimp or overcook it. Either way, the shrimp could get rubbery or tough. If your prawns have been fried or breaded, it’s best not to use this method. Here’s how: also check how should you eat tiger prawns.
- Place your shrimp in a microwave-safe dish. Make sure they don’t overlap.
- Sprinkle the prawns with a little water.
- Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap.
- Reheat the prawns on high power for 60 seconds. Continue to reheat them in 30-second intervals until they are piping hot.
- Remove your prawns from the microwave, let them cool slightly, then serve.
