Make a spicy Alfredo sauce. Cut the corn off the cob, peel and chop the shrimp. Add both right at the end so they just get heated through without overcooking them too much more. Then pour over cooked pasta of your choice
ETA- you can either add the sausage to the pasta sauce or chop it small, mash the potatoes, mix them all together with some flour and an egg. Fry in a skillet for Cajun potato pancakes. Top with fried eggs, sour cream and Crystal hot sauce for a serious breakfast or lunch

Put it in the oven at like 200F until it’s warm enough.

Un a frying pan ! Slowly

I’ll take a serious stab at this. Sounds like you want to do this right and not quick necessarily.
Pot of water – A simple way may be to bag them in a large zip lock and drop them in some warmed water, let that sit until desired temp. Don’t go too hot.
microwave –
Seperate the items. Shrimps, potatoes, corn. You’ll be warming those up separately because they have different warm up times.
Microwave the corn. It’s pretty forgiving. Same with potatoes. Shrimps you’ll want to heat up slowly so turn down the power of the microwave to something like 4 or 5. Put it on for 60 seconds and check the shrimps every 15 or 20 seconds or so. Mix them all at the end, top with some lemon and enjoy your left overs.

Hairdryer. Only way.

Use a double boiler. If not take a pot and put some water in it. Put the seafood in a strainer and put on top the pot but not in the water. Cover it and let it steam for 10/15 minutes or so.

I eat shrimp boil leftovers cold because I don’t like how reheating changes the texture

There’s two ways. Cold shrimp is excellent but cold potatoes or corn is not as desirable. If you wish to eat them hot, simply cover the pan with foil and put it in the oven (not a toaster oven) and heat to the desired temp and you won’t be sorry. In my experience many times left overs taste better the second time. Try it and let me know what you think.

I’d throw it into a pasta or something. Other than that I’d just eat it cold with some cocktail sauce.

It’s going to overcook and dry out no matter what you do, but maybe gently steam?

Strain it and heat up the liquid then dump the shrimp in.

Remove shrimp and cover. Heat at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, add shrimp and recover. Let stand covered for 10 minutes.

Steam it in a steamer! Like how you usually do veggies like broccoli. Thats how we reheated food left over from a crawfish boil.
It did not make our house smell like fish. And there were shrimp in it and 100% were worth it.

I usually separate the shrimp from the corn, potatoes and sauce. I heat up the corn, potatoes and sauce very hot because it doesn’t affect the texture much. At the same time, I very gently reheat the shrimp until they’re barely warm. Then I combine them.
