Baked shrimp - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before adding them to the dish. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming watery.

I don't have fresh thyme. Can I use dried thyme instead?

Absolutely! Use about 1 teaspoon of dried thyme for every tablespoon of fresh thyme. Dried herbs are more potent, so you need less.

How long can I store leftover baked shrimp?

Leftover baked shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to cool them down completely before refrigerating.

Can I freeze the baked shrimp?

While you can freeze cooked shrimp, the texture might change slightly and become a bit rubbery. For best results, use cooked shrimp within a few days. If you do freeze, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

What's a good side dish to serve with this baked shrimp?

This baked shrimp pairs well with so many things! Try serving it with a side of rice, quinoa, roasted vegetables (like asparagus or broccoli), or a fresh salad. Crusty bread is also great for soaking up the flavorful sauce.

I'm sensitive to spice. Can I omit the cayenne pepper?

Yes, definitely! Feel free to omit the cayenne pepper altogether if you're sensitive to spice. You can also reduce the amount of chili pepper to your taste.

Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?

Yes, you can substitute with garlic powder. Use approximately 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder for each clove of fresh garlic. Keep in mind that fresh garlic will provide a more robust flavor.

What if I don't have lemons? Can I substitute with lime?

Yes, lime juice can be used as a substitute for lemon juice in this recipe. The flavor will be slightly different, but it will still add a nice acidity to the dish.
