Notes
Fridge: Store leftover grilled Cajun shrimp in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Once leftover shrimp has cooled completely, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. After they've frozen, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
To reheat, use the stovetop on low heat so the shrimp doesn't become tough or give it a go in the air fryer.
