FAQ:
Can I use frozen shrimp? Yes! Frozen shrimp work just fine. Just make sure to thaw them thoroughly in the fridge before cooking and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes, you can cook the shrimp ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Just make sure to refrigerate them in a covered container and serve chilled or reheated.
Can I substitute shrimp with another seafood? Absolutely! Scallops or crab meat would also work well for this recipe. Adjust the cooking times as necessary depending on the seafood you choose.
What’s the best way to avoid overcooking shrimp? Shrimp cook very quickly, so keep an eye on them. They’re done when they turn pink and form a tight "C" shape. Overcooking them will make them rubbery, so it’s essential to remove them from the heat once cooked through.
