What should the internal temperature of shrimp be?

The internal temperature of cooked shrimp should reach 145°F (63°C). This ensures that any harmful bacteria are killed, making the shrimp safe to eat.

Here are some additional tips for cooking shrimp:

* Don't overcook: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's easy to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.

* Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure your shrimp is cooked to the correct temperature is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the shrimp, avoiding the vein.

* Look for signs of doneness: Cooked shrimp will turn pink and opaque. The flesh will also become firm and springy.

Enjoy your delicious and safely cooked shrimp!
