Even the best fried shrimp becomes soggy when reheated in the microwave. Microwaves steam food rather than heating it from the outside, resulting in damp breading, which falls off the shrimp. You can save your fried shrimp from the garbage by properly reheating it in the oven. Your secret weapon: a cooling rack used during cooking rather than after. Done right, you get crispy, crunchy shrimp heated completely through and ready for your choice of cocktail or tartar sauce. This also works for any other leftover fried foods: French fries, hushpuppies, chicken nuggets, fried fish and onion rings.
