Notes

For best results, use high-quality fresh shrimp. If using frozen, ensure they are thawed completely. You can replace seafood seasoning with Old Bay or your own blend of spices. Leftover shrimp can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat gently to avoid rubbery texture. For a healthier option, substitute butter with olive oil.
