Raw shrimp will last just one to two days in the fridge, while cooked shrimp can last three to four days, making proper storage crucial for safety.
Fresh shrimp should smell briny and mildly fishy. An overly strong smell, or hints of ammonia, indicate spoilage. Texture is also key; slimy residues mean it's time to discard.
To extend shrimp's shelf life, store it below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. An airtight container helps prevent bacterial growth and cross-contamination, ensuring better preservation.
Freezing shrimp is the best way to prolong its freshness. Ensure shrimp isn't spoiled before freezing, and remove heads to prevent spoilage.
