STORAGE:
Raw shrimp lasts in the fridge for one to two days. Some shrimp packaging may have a “best-by” or “use-by” date, which indicates the packagers’ estimate of when the product will be of best quality. Shrimp may last beyond that date for two days, but if you’re unsure, check the texture and smell.
