Notes
- Preheat the skillet to get a better sear and more flavor.
- Dry the shrimp with paper towels before cooking so they brown better.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimps, or they might become rubbery.
- For the best texture, cook the cabbage until tender and crisp; they should have a slight bite to them.
