Notes

Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor! Keep shrimp shells on for cooking; they add moisture and flavor. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within two days. Reheat on a skillet for best results. Feel free to experiment with spices like red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for extra flavor!
