Shrimps in a frying pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of fresh for this recipe?

Yes, frozen shrimp work well! Just thaw them completely in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water before cooking to ensure even frying.

What can I substitute for orange juice if I don't have any?

Lemon or lime juice are great alternatives for acidity, or use a splash of white wine or chicken broth for a different flavor profile.

How long can I store leftover cooked shrimp?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking.

How can I make this recipe low-carb or keto-friendly?

Skip the orange juice (or use a small amount of lemon) and ensure your sauce is sugar-free. Serve with zucchini noodles or a salad.

What type of oil works best for frying the shrimp?

Use a high-heat oil like avocado, vegetable, or canola. Olive oil works too, but avoid extra-virgin as it burns at high temperatures.

Can I make this dish ahead of time for a party?

It's best served fresh, but you can prep ingredients (chop garlic, pepper, herbs) ahead. Cook shrimp just before serving for optimal texture.

How do I adjust the spiciness level?

Reduce or omit the chili pepper for mild heat, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra spice.

What sides pair well with these shrimp?

Serve over rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce, or with a light salad for a low-carb option.

Can I freeze the cooked shrimp?

Freezing isn't recommended, as shrimp can become rubbery when reheated. Enjoy fresh for the best texture.
