How To Make Szechuan Chili Shrimp

Tips

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover Szechuan chili shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Reheating

Freezing/Make Ahead

If you want to keep your Szechuan chili shrimp for longer to use for future meals, make sure they have cooled down, then place the cooked shrimp on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 1-2 hours or until solid (this will prevent them from sticking together when stored). Transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw completely and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
