NOTES

Meal Prep
  • Cook and Cool – Let the shrimp cool slightly before storing to avoid steam buildup.
  • Portion and Store – Divide shrimp into containers with your choice of sides and drizzle extra hot honey glaze on top.
  • Reheat and Enjoy – Microwave for 1-2 minutes or reheat in a skillet, adding extra sauce if needed to keep them juicy.
  • Freeze for Later – Freeze shrimp in airtight containers for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently.
