how long can shrimp stay in the fridge
Wrap the shrimp well in plastic or keep it in an airtight container, and place the container on a plate to catch any errant drips. Shelled and unshelled, cooked shrimp stays fresh for about 3 to 4 days in the fridge, wrapped in plastic or stored in an airtight glass or plastic container. If you buy shrimp on a hot day, ask for a cold pack with which to take it home or put a cooler in your car to transport the fish home.
