To prepare, you can heat the shrimp in an oven, on a stovetop, or in a microwave. For oven heating, spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until warmed through. On the stovetop, sauté them in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Microwaving is the fastest option; place the shrimp in a microwave-safe dish and heat according to package directions, ensuring they are evenly warmed. Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender texture.
