Notes

This dish is best served hot. You can enjoy it on its own, or serve it over rice or pasta for a more filling meal. Adding a fresh salad on the side can complement the flavors nicely. If you have leftovers, let the shrimp cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat. Consider adding red pepper flakes for heat or incorporate vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra color and nutrients.
