And even after the shrimp is cooked, bacteria is still an issue. Left too long at room temperature, any bacteria that cooking did not destroy begins to multiply again. When this happens, cooked shrimp stays good for only a short period of time before bacteria growth rises to levels that can make you sick if you eat it. credit: Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images Refrigerate cooked shrimp within two hours of cooking.
I make sure to use fresh raw shrimp within 2 days of buying it. I find that by the third day they get a bit smelly in the fridge. So it's either freeze them right away or use them up the day or day after you bought them. Depends on how cold you keep the shrimp. The colder you keep it, the longer it will last. The health department will allow restaurants to keep and serve meat and seafood up to 7 days if kept at 41 F. However, I have never seen shrimp make it this long. Usually it is finished by the 5th day. There is a great way to extend the self-life of shrimp. Put the shrimp in a small strainer or colander. Place the colander into a bowl. Make sure the bottom of the colander does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Cover the shrimp with crushed ice. Change the ice and empty the water in the bowl once or twice a day. The shrimp will stay at 32-33 F.
