How to reheat steamed shrimp         

5 / 5 ( 3 votes )

reheat shrimp

Shrimp is one of the most popular and delicious seafood. As you know, shrimp will provide us with an abundant source of nutrition, especially iron. Another reason that makes us fall in love with shrimp is there are plenty of recipes to cook it within a short time such as roasting, grilling or baking it. However,  the easiest and quickest way is probably to steam which allows the shrimp to keep the moisture, nutrition and fresh as much as possible.

Generally, shrimp tastes best when it’s piping hot out of the steamer but we usually encounter the “our eyes are bigger than stomach” situation which leads to the fact that we cannot eat all shrimp that we have cooked and had them left. But don’t worry, you can totally enjoy them in another meal by reheating shrimp properly so that your shrimp won’t get rubbery and still keep all the delicious flavors as initial. And I will show you that simple “magic” in this article.

Tips to reheat steamed shrimp

  • If you use a steamer to reheat, make sure to keep the shrimp away from water while steaming them
  • If you use an oven instead, you can apply a light coating of olive oil or butter to the foil before placing the shrimp on to prevent them from sticking. You can also do the same with shrimp surface so that they will have beautiful brown coat and seal the flavor
  • Always ensure to check the time frequently, if you just forget for a few minutes, your shrimp will be over cooked and the result is definitely not as expected
  • Enjoy the steamed shrimp with a squeeze of lemon of dip the shrimp in melted butter will be more interesting and yummy

Things you’ll need

  • A steamer/ oven
  • A pot of water
  • A wire rack/baking sheet or pan
  • Aluminum foil

How to reheat steamed shrimp

      With a steamer

  • Boil a pot of water
  • Place the leftover shrimp on a wire rack (remember to make space between them and stack shrimp in only a single layer). This allows the shrimp to be heated evenly and quickly, also prevents the shrimp from becoming soggy
  • Put the rack into a steamer over a pot of boiling water
  • Steam for maximum of two minutes
  • Remove the steamed shrimp immediately when they are heated through
  • Serve on plate and let it rest for one minute before enjoying

With an oven

  • Preheat the oven to 225F
  • Cover the baking sheet or pan with aluminum foil
  • Place the shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet/ pan
  • Wrap another layer of aluminum foil over the shrimp (to keep the moisture) then put the pan in the oven
  • Heat for about three minutes then turn off the oven and let the shrimp sit inside the oven for two minutes
  • Take the shrimp out and serve
