Place the fresh shrimp, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, beaten egg, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it combines well. It should still have some texture, not a smooth paste. This mix gives the shrimp balls great flavor. Now, take a small amount of the shrimp mixture and roll it into a ball. Aim for a size close to a golf ball. It’s fun to do this by hand. You can feel the mix and shape it just right. Place each ball on a plate as you go. This step helps them hold together when frying. Next, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Get it to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the shrimp balls in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan; this helps them fry evenly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes. They should turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to lift them out and place them on paper towels to drain. This frying method gives you that crispy texture that is so satisfying. For the complete details on how to make these crispy shrimp balls, check out the Full Recipe. To get the best crunch, use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp gives a better texture than frozen. When mixing, pulse just enough to keep some chunkiness. This helps with the crispiness when frying. Coat your shrimp balls evenly with breadcrumbs. The more coverage, the crunchier they will be. For an extra layer, you can double coat them. First, dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs again. Use hot oil for frying. The right temperature is key. Aim for 350°F (175°C). If the oil is too cool, the balls will soak up oil and become soggy. Fry in small batches to keep the oil hot. Prep your shrimp mixture ahead of time. You can make it the night before and store it in the fridge. This way, when you're ready to cook, everything is ready to go. Use a food processor for quick chopping. It saves time on mixing the shrimp and veggies. Just pulse until you see a good blend. Consider using store-bought sweet chili sauce. It cuts down on prep time. You can still add lime juice and sesame oil for a personal touch. Making your own sweet chili sauce is easy. Just mix sweet chili sauce with lime juice, sesame oil, and sriracha if you like heat. This simple blend adds a fresh zing. Taste your sauce before serving. Adjust the sweetness or heat to suit your taste. If it's too sweet, a dash of lime juice will balance it out. Serve the sauce in a small bowl next to your shrimp balls. This way, it’s easy to dip and enjoy. Don’t forget to use the Full Recipe for more tips on preparation! {{image_2}} If you want a kick, add more heat to your shrimp balls. Use fresh jalapeños or red pepper flakes. Mix them into the shrimp mixture. This will give your dish a nice spicy punch. You can also try using spicy sriracha in the sweet chili sauce. Adjust it to your taste. Want a healthier option? You can bake the shrimp balls instead of frying them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the shrimp balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray them lightly with cooking oil. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and crisp. This method cuts down on oil and calories. You can switch some ingredients if you need to. If you don’t have shrimp, try using crab or a firm fish. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. You can replace soy sauce with coconut aminos for a soy-free version. These swaps keep the flavors rich while catering to your needs. For the complete recipe, check out the Full Recipe section. To keep your crispy shrimp balls fresh, store them in an airtight container. Let them cool completely before you store them. Layer parchment paper between the shrimp balls to prevent sticking. Keep them in the fridge if you plan to eat them within three days. For longer storage, consider freezing. When reheating shrimp balls, use an oven for the best results. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shrimp balls on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy. You can also use an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid the microwave, as it can make them soggy. Freezing is a great option if you want to save some shrimp balls for later. After forming the balls, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze them for about an hour until solid. Then, transfer the frozen shrimp balls to a freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, cook them straight from frozen. Just add a few extra minutes to your frying time. Follow the full recipe for tips on cooking from frozen. You can tell the shrimp balls are cooked when they are golden brown. They should feel firm and bounce back when you press them lightly. If you cut one open, it should be opaque inside, not translucent. Cooking usually takes about 4-5 minutes in hot oil. Always use a thermometer to check the oil temperature. This helps ensure even cooking. Yes, you can prepare the shrimp balls in advance. After forming them, place the balls on a tray. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If you want to store them longer, freeze the balls on the tray first. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They can stay fresh for up to three months. Crispy shrimp balls pair well with many sides.

Crispy Shrimp Balls with Sweet Chili Sauce Delight

Are you ready to impress your taste buds? In this post, I’ll show you how to make crispy shrimp balls

$- 2 egg whites - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - A pinch of salt - Optional: food coloring for tinting Precise measurements matter. They ensure your frosting turns out perfect every time. Use dry measuring cups for the sugar. A liquid measuring cup works best for the vanilla extract. A kitchen scale is great for exact measures, especially for sugar. If you want to avoid eggs, try aquafaba. Aquafaba is the liquid from canned chickpeas. It whips up just like egg whites. For a healthier touch, consider using coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like stevia. These options can cut down on calories while keeping sweetness. First, gather your kitchen tools and ingredients. You need a heatproof mixing bowl, a whisk, and an electric mixer. Make sure your bowl is clean and dry. This helps the egg whites whip up nicely. Next, set up your double boiler. Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water. Heat it on medium until it simmers gently. Place your mixing bowl over the saucepan. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. This setup helps control the heat and prevents burning. When whisking the egg whites, use a steady hand. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves completely. This usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes. You want the mixture warm but not hot. To check, touch it gently with your finger. Look for signs of perfect texture. The mixture should look shiny and smooth. Once it feels warm, it’s time to remove it from the heat. After removing the bowl, use an electric mixer. Beat the mixture on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes. You want to see stiff peaks form. The frosting should look glossy and hold its shape. Now, add in the vanilla extract. Mix it in until fully combined. If you want color, add a few drops of food coloring. Gently fold it in to avoid deflating the frosting. For the full recipe, check out the section above. Enjoy your delicious 7-minute marshmallow frosting! To create stiff peaks, you need the right temperature and mixing speed. Start with room temperature egg whites. They whip better and faster. Use a high-speed mixer once your mixture is warm and foamy. If you see a gritty texture, it means the sugar isn't dissolved. Just keep whisking until smooth. If peaks aren’t forming, try increasing the mixing speed. If you see liquid forming, you might have over-whipped. Don’t worry! Just gently fold in some fresh egg whites to fix it. Heat matters for this frosting. Use a double boiler to control the heat. Keep the water simmering, not boiling. Too much heat can cook the egg whites. Stir your mixture constantly to keep it even. Timing is key, too. Aim for about 7 minutes total from the start of cooking to finished frosting. This ensures a light and fluffy texture. This frosting is great for cakes and cupcakes! Spread it on your favorite cake for a sweet finish. It pairs well with chocolate, vanilla, or fruit flavors. You can also pipe it onto cupcakes for a lovely look. Try adding sprinkles or crushed nuts on top for extra texture. If you want to get creative, mix in some crushed candy or chocolate chips before decorating. This will add flavor and fun! For the full recipe, check out the link provided. {{image_2}} You can easily change the flavor of your 7-minute marshmallow frosting. Try adding different extracts. Almond or mint extract can give your frosting a unique twist. Just a teaspoon will do. This small change can create a big flavor boost. For chocolate lovers, mix in cocoa powder. Start with about two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa. Blend it in when you add the vanilla. This will give your frosting a rich chocolate flavor. You can adjust the amount to suit your taste. Adding color to your frosting is simple and fun. For pastel colors, use a tiny amount of food coloring. A drop or two will create a lovely shade. Mix it in gently to avoid over-coloring. If you prefer bold colors, add more drops. Just remember to mix well after each addition. You can also use natural food coloring alternatives. Beet juice or matcha powder are great choices for natural hues. They add color and a hint of flavor. You can make frosting fit any season or holiday. For spring, add lemon zest or floral extracts. This gives a fresh, bright taste. For Halloween, try adding orange food coloring. It pairs well with pumpkin-flavored treats. Think about desserts that work well with this frosting. Cupcakes, cookies, and cakes are perfect choices. This frosting adds a fluffy, sweet touch. You can even use it to fill pastries or layer in a cake. Each bite will be a delight! For the full recipe, check out 7-Minute Marshmallow Frosting. To store unused frosting, keep it in an airtight container. This helps maintain freshness. If you leave it out, it can dry out quickly. At room temperature, it lasts up to 2 hours. If you need to store it longer, place it in the fridge. In the fridge, it can stay fresh for up to a week. If you have leftover frosting, you can refresh it. Just beat it with a mixer until it’s fluffy again. This brings back its nice texture. You can also use leftovers in other recipes. Try spreading it on cookies or mixing it into a cake batter for extra sweetness. To keep your frosting smooth, avoid humidity. Sugar can crystallize when it’s too humid. Store it in a cool, dry place. If you notice any crystallization, gently reheat the frosting. This helps dissolve the sugar again and keeps it smooth. Making 7-Minute Marshmallow Frosting is quick! It takes about 10 minutes in total. You spend around 5 minutes preparing the ingredients. The cooking time is about 3 to 4 minutes. Then, you mix for another 3 to 4 minutes. You’ll get fluffy frosting ready to use in no time! Yes, you can make this frosting ahead of time. However, it's best to use it right away. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container. It will stay good at room temperature for up to 2 hours. After that, it may lose its fluffy texture. If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can use lemon juice or vinegar. Use 1 teaspoon of either for every 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. These substitutes help stabilize the egg whites. However, the texture may not be as fluffy as with cream of tartar. You can definitely tint your frosting! To do this, add a few drops of food coloring. Mix it gently to avoid deflating the frosting. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. This way, you can achieve your desired color without losing that lovely fluff! This article covered everything you need for perfect 7-Minute Marshmallow Frosting.

$- 1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight) - 1 small onion, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped - 1 tsp ground cumin - 1 tsp ground coriander - 1/2 tsp baking soda - 1/2 tsp salt - 1/4 tsp black pepper - 3 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or chickpea flour) - Cooking spray or olive oil spray I love using dried chickpeas for falafel. They give a better texture than canned ones. Soak them overnight in water. This step is key! After soaking, drain and rinse them well. This helps remove any dirt or dust. Next, chop your onion and garlic. Fresh ingredients make a big difference. I also use parsley and cilantro for a bright flavor. These herbs add color and taste to the falafel. Spices are vital for flavor. Ground cumin and coriander give warmth and depth. Baking soda helps the falafel rise and stay light. The salt and black pepper add just the right kick. For binding, I mix in flour. You can use all-purpose flour or chickpea flour. It helps hold everything together. Finally, I use cooking spray to help them crisp up in the air fryer. For the full recipe, check out the detailed steps to make these tasty snacks! Start by soaking the chickpeas in water overnight. This helps them soften. After soaking, drain and rinse the chickpeas well. It’s important to ensure they are dry. Wet chickpeas can make the mixture too mushy. In a food processor, put the soaked chickpeas, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Add the spices: cumin, coriander, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Pulse the mixture until it is finely ground but still has texture. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as you blend. This keeps everything well mixed. Next, transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the flour until it blends well. If it feels too wet, add a bit more flour. You want it to hold its shape when formed. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Aim for 12 to 15 falafels. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps them cook evenly. Place the falafel balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. They should not touch. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook the falafel for 12-15 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy when done. After cooking, let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your crispy air fryer falafel! For further details, see the Full Recipe. To get the right texture, check the mixture after blending. If it feels too wet, it won't hold shape. You can fix this by adding flour. Start with one tablespoon at a time until it feels just right. The mix should be sticky but not gooey. Want to boost the taste? Try adding extra spices like paprika or cayenne for heat. A bit of lemon zest can brighten the falafel too. If you like it spicy, a dash of hot sauce works great. Do not overcrowd the air fryer. This can lead to uneven cooking. Place falafel balls in a single layer, leaving space around each. When using different air fryer models, cooking times may vary. Keep an eye on them and adjust as needed. For example, if they look golden but feel soft, give them a couple more minutes. {{image_2}} You can easily change the flavor of your falafel. Adding Mediterranean herbs like oregano and thyme can brighten the taste. You can also mix in spices like paprika or sumac for extra depth. Want more color and nutrients? Try adding vegetables like spinach or grated carrot. These changes create a unique twist on the classic falafel. If you want to switch things up, consider using black beans instead of chickpeas. Black beans give a different taste and texture. Lentils are another great option. They cook faster and add a soft, creamy texture. Both choices keep your falafel tasty and nutritious. Falafel is versatile and pairs well with many sauces. Try tahini for a nutty flavor or tzatziki for a cool touch. You can serve falafel in wraps with fresh veggies or salads for a complete meal. It also makes a great appetizer at parties. The options are endless! For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions. To keep your leftover falafel fresh, place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate the container right away. This keeps moisture out and helps the falafel stay tasty. You can store them for up to four days. If you want to save falafel for longer, freezing works great. First, let the falafel cool completely. Then, arrange them in a single layer on a tray. Freeze them for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer the falafel into a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to three months in the freezer. To enjoy your falafel again, reheating is key. The best way to reheat falafel is in the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 5 to 7 minutes. This method helps the falafel stay crispy instead of soggy. You can also use an oven for reheating. Place the falafel on a baking sheet and heat at 375°F (190°C) for around 10 minutes. Check them often to avoid overcooking. Falafel stays fresh in the fridge for about four days. Always check for signs of spoilage before eating. If you see any mold, or if they smell off, it’s best to toss them. When falafel ages, they lose their crispy texture. They may also become dry. If that happens, you can still reheat them, but they might not taste as good as fresh. Always trust your senses when deciding if food is still good! Yes, you can use canned chickpeas. They save time and are easy to find. Pros of using canned chickpeas: - Already cooked, so no soaking is needed. - Convenient and quick to prepare. Cons of using canned chickpeas: - They may be softer, which can change the texture. - Canned chickpeas can have added salt or preservatives. If you choose canned chickpeas, rinse them well. This helps reduce sodium and improves flavor. Air frying uses hot air to cook food, while frying uses oil. Air frying is healthier. Health benefits of air frying: - Uses less oil, reducing fat and calories. - Creates crispy food without the mess of oil. - Preserves nutrients better than deep frying. Air frying makes it easy to enjoy crispy falafel without guilt. Look for a golden brown color on the outside. The inside should be warm and soft. Tips for checking doneness: - Use a fork to break one open; it should not be doughy. - Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness. Trust your senses. If it smells great and looks golden, it’s ready! Yes, falafel can be made gluten-free. Use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour. Suggestions for gluten-free flour options: - Chickpea flour is a great choice. - Almond flour can add a nutty flavor. - Oat flour works well too, just ensure it’s gluten-free certified. Experiment with these options to find the taste you love! For the full recipe, check out the detailed steps above. In this article, we explored making falafel in an air fryer. We covered the key ingredients like chickpeas, herbs, and spices. You learned the steps for mixing and shaping the falafel. We also shared tips for perfecting texture and flavor.

Air Fryer Falafel Tasty and Healthy Snack Idea

Are you in search of a tasty and healthy snack? Look no further! Air Fryer Falafel is the perfect choice.

$- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 1/2 cup mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon Sriracha - 1 tablespoon honey - 6 slider buns - Lettuce leaves (for garnish) - Pickled jalapeños (optional) To make Bang Bang Chicken Sliders, we start with the chicken. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast. This cut ensures a tender bite. You’ll want to cut the chicken into small pieces, about the size of your slider buns. Next, we need our breading. I prefer panko breadcrumbs. They give a nice crunch. The all-purpose flour helps the breading stick. For flavor, I add garlic powder and paprika. This mix of spices adds depth and warmth. Now, let’s talk about the Bang Bang sauce. This sauce is creamy with a kick. I mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, and honey together. The honey balances the heat from the Sriracha. Adjust the Sriracha amount based on your spice level. When it comes to assembly, the slider buns need to be warm and toasted. Add your fried chicken, drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce, and top with lettuce. If you like heat, add pickled jalapeños. They bring a zesty flavor that pairs well. This recipe is about bold flavors and fun bites. You can find the complete instructions in the Full Recipe. Enjoy making these sliders! To start, cut the chicken breast into slider-sized pieces. Aim for pieces about 2 inches long. Next, pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. This step helps the breading stick better. Now, set up three bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix it well. In the second bowl, crack and beat one large egg. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. This setup makes breading easy and quick. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom, about 1/4 inch deep. When the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown. After frying, place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Taste it and adjust the spice level according to your liking. You can add more Sriracha for extra heat. Lightly toast the slider buns until they are warm. On the bottom half of each bun, place one piece of fried chicken. Drizzle a generous amount of Bang Bang sauce over the chicken. Next, add a crisp lettuce leaf. If you like, top it off with pickled jalapeños for some extra zing. To get crispy Bang Bang Chicken, the oil temperature matters. Use a deep skillet and heat oil to 350°F. This ensures a golden finish. Use a thermometer for accuracy. If the oil is too cold, the chicken will soak up grease. If too hot, it will burn. Cook chicken in batches. This keeps the oil temperature steady. Overcrowding the pan lowers the heat. Fry about three pieces at a time. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove them and let them drain on paper towels. The Bang Bang Sauce can be even better! Add a splash of lime juice for zest. You can mix in some minced garlic for a kick. Want more heat? Toss in extra Sriracha or chili flakes. For a creamier sauce, use more mayo. If it’s too thick, add a little water or more lime juice. Adjust the spice level to your taste. The goal is a perfect blend of creaminess and spice. Bang Bang Chicken Sliders pair well with many sides. Serve them with crispy sweet potato fries. Fresh coleslaw adds a crunchy texture. You can also try a light salad for balance. For drinks, iced tea or lemonade works great. If you prefer something stronger, a light beer is a good choice. These flavors enhance your slider experience and make the meal special. {{image_2}} To make your sliders extra spicy, you can add more Sriracha or chili flakes. This boosts the heat and adds great flavor. Start by mixing in an extra teaspoon of Sriracha into the Bang Bang sauce. If you want more kick, sprinkle some chili flakes on the chicken before frying. Adjust the spice to suit your taste. If you want a lighter version, try baking the chicken instead of frying it. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded chicken on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Another option is to swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt in the Bang Bang sauce. This change makes it creamier and adds protein without the extra fat. For a plant-based twist, substitute the chicken with plant-based meat. Many brands offer great options that mimic chicken well. You can also create a plant-based Bang Bang sauce using vegan mayo and your favorite hot sauce. This way, everyone can enjoy the sliders, regardless of their diet. For the full recipe, check out the section above. To keep your Bang Bang Chicken Sliders fresh, cool them down first. Place them in an airtight container. This will help maintain their taste and texture. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing. When reheating, aim to keep the sliders crispy. The best method is to use the oven. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliders on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 minutes. This method keeps the buns from getting soggy. Avoid the microwave for reheating, as it can make the sliders soft and mushy. To freeze assembled sliders, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Then place them in a freezer bag. This prevents freezer burn. They can stay frozen for up to three months. When you are ready to eat, remove them from the freezer. Let them thaw overnight in the fridge. After thawing, reheat them in the oven for best results. Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Sliders again!

Mix everything well with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough. Next, divide the mixture into four equal parts. Shape each part into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. This thickness helps them cook evenly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the patties. Make sure there is enough space between each patty. Cook them for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The outside should be golden brown. While the last batch cooks, toast the burger buns in a separate pan if you like. Once the patties are done, assemble your burgers. Place each chicken patty on a toasted bun. Add toppings like lettuce, tomato, and any condiments you prefer. To make the best patties, keep a few tips in mind. First, wet your hands with water before shaping the patties. This helps prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Second, try to make the patties uniform in size. This way, they cook evenly and look great on a plate. Lastly, make a small indent in the center of each patty. This helps them hold their shape while cooking and prevents them from puffing up. You can cook these burgers in two ways: on a skillet or on a grill. Skillet Method: This method gives you a nice brown crust. Use medium heat and add olive oil. The skillet method is quick and easy, perfect for weeknight dinners. Grill Method: Grilling adds a smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

Enjoy! When making Louisiana BBQ shrimp, seasoning is key. Start with the Cajun seasoning. This blend brings a warm kick. If you want to make your own, mix paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and thyme. Use fresh garlic, as it adds a rich flavor. Don't rush the spices; let them bloom in the oil. This step enhances the taste. Taste your sauce before adding shrimp. Adjust the seasoning to suit your preference. Some like it hot, while others prefer mild. To adjust the spice level, add hot sauce slowly. Start with one teaspoon and taste. You can always add more if needed. If you want less heat, skip the hot sauce or use less Cajun seasoning. Lemon juice can help balance strong spices too. It adds brightness and cuts through heat. One common mistake is overcooking the shrimp. Shrimp cook fast. They turn pink in just a few minutes. Remove them from heat once they curl. Another mistake is using dull spices. Fresh spices give the best flavor. Store spices in a cool, dark place. Also, don’t skip the crusty French bread. It’s perfect for soaking up the sauce. Enjoy every last drop! {{image_2}} You can change the flavor by using different spice blends. If you want a milder taste, try a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.

You can grill the shrimp for a smoky flavor! To do this, marinate the shrimp first and place them on skewers. Baking is also a great option.

After you enjoy your Louisiana BBQ shrimp, let any leftovers cool down. Place them in an airtight container. This helps keep them fresh. Store the container in the fridge. Use the leftovers within three days for the best taste. To reheat, I suggest using a skillet. Add a splash of chicken broth to the pan. Heat over medium heat. This keeps the shrimp moist and flavorful. Stir gently until the shrimp are warm. Avoid using the microwave if you can. It tends to make shrimp rubbery. If you want to save your shrimp for later, freezing works well. First, cool the shrimp completely. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. This keeps the texture nice and tender. Louisiana BBQ Shrimp comes from New Orleans.
