- Make sure to pat dry your shrimp before cooking. This will help the seasonings to stick better and also prevent the shrimp from becoming too watery as it cooks.
- Use a medium skillet to cook your shrimp. This ensures that the shrimp are evenly cooked and allows space for the flavors to blend together.
- Don't overcook your shrimp. As soon as they turn pink and opaque, they are done. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery and lose their sweet flavor.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest can make a big difference in this dish. It's worth the extra effort for the bright, fresh flavor they bring.
- Fresh garlic is also key. It has a more vibrant flavor compared to pre-minced garlic, and it really shines in this dish.
- Feel free to customize this dish to your liking. You can make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes.
