Notes
You can store any leftovers of this salt and pepper shrimp in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. I do not recommend freezing because it will cause the shrimp coating to turn to mush.
To reheat you can do so in your oven or air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes. You can also reheat in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir everything together until warmed through.
