Can I Meal Prep This Recipe?
Because shrimp can become overcooked so easily, I don’t recommend cooking this meal beforehand, then reheating to serve. If you want to bread the shrimp ahead of time, you could do this up to 24 hours before cooking. You could also bread the shrimp then freeze for a great keto freezer meal!
Freezing Breaded Shrimp
To freeze, place the breaded, uncooked shrimp on a baking sheet in a single layer (not touching) and freeze for two hours. Once frozen, store in a freezer bag, write the cooking instructions, and keep frozen up to six months. This makes it a great non-casserole option if you’re helping stock a freezer for a new mom or struggling family member!
How Should I Reheat Breaded Shrimp?
If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. The best way to reheat crispy breaded shrimp is to use the oven or an air fryer. Preheat to 350 degrees F and cook covered about 10 minutes (oven) or uncovered 3-4 minutes (air fryer).
Cooking Frozen Breaded Shrimp
If you have frozen your uncooked, breaded shrimp, you can cook them straight from frozen! Just choose your cooking method and add 2-5 minutes – check frequently to see if they are finished. If you allow the frozen shrimp to thaw before cooking, the breading may slide off, so I don’t highly recommend it.
