Notes

  • It’s important to know that shrimp cooks very quickly, sometimes in less than five minutes. Keep a close eye when on your pan when cooking the shrimp and turn the heat off the moment the shrimps turn pink on both sides. 
  • If you’re looking for a side salad, our
  • Mediterranean salad
  • would go very well with this dish. 
  • I suggest you have this dish fresh since the shrimp’s flavor is best when served right away. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight glass container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, it’s best to heat it in a skillet and not for too long. 
  • I used peeled and deveined tail-on shrimp to make this dish. You may also use tail-off shrimp.
