Yes, you can (and should!) cook seafood in the microwave — especially juicy, succulent shrimp. Steaming retains the shrimps’ natural flavor and a bit of bite. There’s no need to add any oil before cooking, from fresh or frozen. Plus, they’re ready in under the time it takes you to peel a plate’s worth. Want cocktail shrimp or shrimp scampi on a weeknight? The microwave is your friend.

Why Use An Anyday? When using an Anyday dish, shrimp take about 3-4 minutes to cook in the microwave until fully steamed through. While shrimp quickly cooks on the stovetop or in the oven, the convenience of an Anyday dish is unmatched: Cook, serve, store, and reheat shrimp all in the same dish. Then place the Anyday dish right in the dishwasher when the shrimp has been devoured.
