Shrimp Kabobs FAQ

What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?

Leftovers can be kept in any airtight container for 2-3 days max. Reheat gently in a pan with some butter. Avoid the microwave, if possible.

Are there any substitutions for the Garlic & Herb Old Bay?

Sure! Any seafood seasoning blend will work. I love the Garlic & Herb Old Bay though, so try it sometime, even if it isn’t this time! 😉

Can these be cooked on a grill instead of a griddle?

Yes! These can be cooked on any kind of grill, or even in the oven or on a grill pan on the stove. Shrimp are very forgiving as long as you don’t overcook them.
