How long can cooked shrimp stay fresh in the fridge?

Cooked shrimp can usually be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to three days when properly handled and kept at a temperature of 40 °F (4 °C) or below. However, it is still recommended to promptly consume refrigerated cooked shrimp to retain its best quality and taste. Proper refrigeration helps prevent or slow down microbial growth but won't entirely eliminate it.
