Frequently Asked Questions
You can substitute cod fillets with other white fish such as haddock, tilapia, or pollock. These alternatives will provide a similar texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain crispiness.
If your shrimp become overcooked, they can turn rubbery. To prevent this, cook shrimp for only about 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. If they’re already overcooked, serving them in the sauce can help soften their texture.
