🥡Meal Prep & Storage

Shrimp Fried Rice is a quick recipe that scales well for meal prep. This recipe makes 4 servings, each delivering 30g of protein and 420 calories — ideal for tracking macros across the week. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave in 90-second intervals, stirring between each, until heated through. Adding a small splash of water or broth prevents the protein from drying out during reheating. Shrimp Fried Rice also freezes well — portion into individual freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Batch cooking a double or triple portion on the weekend means you have 30g-protein meals ready throughout the week with zero daily effort.
