Notes
- Make sure to rinse the shrimp well before cooking. Place them in a colander or strainer, and wash thoroughly with cold water. Toss out any shrimp that look slimy, discolored or smell overly fishy.

- If you're using frozen shrimp. run them under cool water to thaw. Don't use hot water!
- The key to not over cooking is to remove them from the heat right when they turn pink, with no brown or grey spots.
- Perfectly cooked shrimp curls into a loose "C" shape. You'll know they're overcooked if they curl into a tight "C". Overcooked shrimp can become too tough or chewy.
