Notes
- To make ahead. You can easily prep this recipe ahead of time and then quickly cook it when ready to serve. Season the shrimp, toss to coat, and then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight or up to 12 hours.
- To store leftovers. Blackened shrimp is best served when freshly cooked. However, you can store it in an airtight container or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve cold or gently reheat and serve.
- To freeze. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
