Notes

  • Storage: Leftover Bangin Good Shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Be sure to keep the shrimp separate from the salad to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing: While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze cooked shrimp for later use. Store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Just reheat gently when you're ready to enjoy!
  • Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a light vinaigrette salad or steamed vegetables. You can also serve it with rice or noodles to make it a more filling meal.
  • Variations: Feel free to swap out the shrimp for other seafood like scallops or fish for a different twist. You can also add more vegetables to the salad for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Serving Size: The recipe yields four servings, making it perfect for a family meal or a small gathering. Adjust the quantities as needed for larger groups!
