Can you freeze Shrimp (Cooked)?
Yes. Shrimp (Cooked) keeps 2–3 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Cooked shrimp freeze acceptably but can turn slightly rubbery. Cool them fast, spread them on a tray to freeze solid, then transfer to a bag with the air removed so they stay loose. Use within 2–3 months. Thaw in the fridge or under cold running water and serve chilled, or add them to hot dishes at the very end of cooking.
