What is YOUR max that you would leave it out?

I have some shrimp and pasta that was left out for 3 hours. Should I dump it or not?

P.S. it was chilly last night when it was left out.

Thanks in Advance!!
 
Definitely throw it out. Anything left out after 2 hours goes in the compost.
 
i think if the food was left out at any temp below 50 deg would not be good. throw it out.
 
It is more than fine, its delicious! In Spain they'd eat it after it sat out for a whole day!
 
Gross confession: I regularly eat food that has been sitting at room temperature for multiple days.

But I've never gotten sick from it.

I wouldn't leave shrimp out for that long, but 3 hours is really nothing. Your food is fine unless it wasn't fine when you first got it.
