Expand All:
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes—thaw first, pat dry, and proceed with the recipe.
How long should I marinate the shrimp?
10–15 minutes is enough. Too long, and the acid from lemon can toughen the shrimp.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheat gently in a skillet or at low temp to avoid overcooking.
