How to warm the shrimp
The following are four easy ways to warm the shrimp to keep it soft and pleasant to consume at dawn:
1. Reduce the stove
When warming shrimp, it is important to use low heat. If shrimp are cooked using the stove before, you should use the same method when warming it.
Using low heat will help maintain the texture of the shrimp so that it does not become tough. Conversely, if you use large heat, excessive heat can make shrimp hard and lose softness.
2. Let the shrimp reach the temperature of the room before it is warmed up
Shrimp that have been stored in the refrigerator should not be immediately heated. Let the shrimp be in the temperature of the room first before starting to warm it.
Shrimp that are still cold from the refrigerator will take longer to heat evenly, which can affect the texture and taste.
