Cooked shrimp can last in the fridge for up to 3-4 days if stored properly. To ensure the longest shelf life, it is best to refrigerate the cooked shrimp within 2 hours of cooking.
When storing cooked shrimp, place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help prevent moisture and air from getting in, which can cause the shrimp to spoil faster.
If you’re unsure whether the shrimp is still safe to eat, look for signs of spoilage such as a slimy texture, an off-putting odor, or discoloration. When in doubt, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and discard the shrimp.
