Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet with a little olive oil.
Make Ahead Tips: You can marinate the shrimp in advance but be careful not to marinate for more than 2 hours to prevent the acid from cooking the shrimp. The marinade can be mixed up to 5 days in advance.
