Notes
- Add In's and Variations:
- Make-ahead Instructions: The sauce is almost better made ahead of time and allowing the flavors to settle. To make ahead, prepare the sauce as instructed but don't add the shrimp. Refrigerate for 1-2 days and return to pan to simmer before adding shrimp.
- Freezing Instructions: make the sauce but don't add the shrimp. Freeze the sauce in a freezer safe bag or container for 2-3 months. To reheat, allow sauce to thaw, simmer in saucepan, and add shrimp, cooking until pink.
