STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Use a tight vessel to store this dish for three days. Use a microwave or a skillet to heat the shrimp gently.

FAQs:

Will it be okay to utilize frozen shrimp?

Can I utilize flavored Greek yogurt?

  • If you do that, it will increase calories and sugar, so using plain nonfat Greek yogurt is the best option for this recipe.
