Notes
- Although you can use peeled shrimp, head-on delivers maximum flavor. To easily devein the shrimp without peeling the shell, insert a toothpick at the base of the shrimp and gently pull the black intestinal tract.
- Drain the shrimp well so the excess liquid does not water down the dish.
- Once the milk is added, cook at medium heat and do not allow to boil lest the sauce curdles or separates.
- Don't have evaporated milk on hand? Heavy or all-purpose cream works, too!
- If you want to temper the heat, use fewer chili peppers or scrape off the seeds before chopping.
