Notes
Storage
- To store, allow them to cool completely. Then, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Ensuring the shrimp patties are cooled before storing will prevent them from becoming soggy. Enjoy them later as a tasty and convenient leftover treat!
- To freeze, first, let them cool completely. Then, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Before reheating, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator for the best results.
