Question 6

When does Shrimp Pasta expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened, store-bought shrimp pasta typically can last up to two days in the refrigerator past its 'sell by' or 'use by' date. However, once the package is opened or if it's fresh homemade shrimp pasta, it's best to consume it within a day or two at most. If you have a large batch and want to save some for later, freezing shrimp pasta is an excellent option and it can last for up to two to three months in a good quality freezer.

How do you tell if Shrimp Pasta is bad?

Accepted Answer

Telling if your shrimp pasta has gone bad can sometimes offer quite clear cues. The easiest way to check is by smell. If it has a sour or generally 'off' smell, it's likely bad and you should discard it. Visually, if you see any discoloration or mold, it's time to throw it away. In terms of taste, if it tastes sour or unpleasant, it's best not to eat it.
