How can I reheat Sesame Shrimp?
I bought it home from a Chinese restaurant last night. They're really big shrimp, and sticky. How can I reheat without drying out the shrimp, and having the crispy sticky coating stick to the pan? Thanks.....Happy Father's to all the dads! Enjoy your day.

The best way is to reheat in a microwave.
Put the leftovers in a bowl and cover it with a damp paper towel. That damp towel will keep 'em moist. Heat for 1min and check how hot it is. Zap it again for 1min at a time until it's hot enough for you. Might sog the coating is the risk here.
To keep that coating crispy as you reheat you'll have to do it in the oven, uncovered at 350, on the middle rack. Use a cookie sheet, pie tin, or tin foil. Keep a good eye on it so the coating doesn't burn. Might dry out is the risk here.
Tough to keep sticky, moist and crispy all at once on a reheat.
Crispy = fried and unless you want to drop these back into a pan of hot corn oil, and lose the 'stickyness', you might have to suffer losing one aspect while warming your yummy leftovers.
