How do you reheat shrimp?

Answer 1

Reheating shrimp must be done very gently! If the shrimp are alone (not contained in a sauce or part of another recipe,) the reheating must be even more gentle to avoid overcooking and an undesired change in texture. In this case, a hot water bath is the most desired method. Just place a bowl containing the shrimp inside a bowl filled with hot water. Reheat the water as necessary until the shrimp are at the desired temperature. Never use a microwave to reheat shrimp that are not frozen. Even with frozen shrimp, most microwaves will overcook them quickly, producing a dried-out rubbery version of the original.

Answer 2

First, set up a pot with warm water, heat the water until it boils. You might want to add some salt, so the shrimp don't lose their flavor.

Next, remove the pot from the stove (important! otherwise the shrimp would become rubberlike), put the shrimp into the pot for about 5 minutes. Voila, enjoy your freshly heated shrimps.

All of this assumes that the shrimps in question are not frozen, of course.

Answer 3

Shrimp that has already been cooked can easily get rubbery and tough when reheated. So if at all possible, I would remove the shrimp from the sauce, reheat the sauce, then return the shrimp to the sauce, and let the heat of the sauce rewarm the shrimp without it being exposed again to direct heat. If that is not possible, I would probably bring the sauce out of the refrigerator to try to bring it and the shrimp closer towards room temperature, then I would warm the sauce in a very low saucepan on the stove to apply as little heat to the sauce as possible.

Answer 4

Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Answer 5

It is not advisable to reheat shellfish.

Answer 6

You don't. Eat them cold; it the best.
