Notes
- Using shrimp with the shell still on can have a noticeable impact on both the cooking process and the final result. When cooked with the shell on, shrimp often retain more of their natural juices and flavors, which can make them more tender and flavorful. However, this method can make the shrimp harder to eat, as diners will need to peel them before enjoying the dish. Additionally, cooking shrimp with the shell on can make it more difficult to ensure that the marinade and sauces are evenly distributed. For dishes like Sizzling Gambas, where ease of eating is important, it is generally better to peel the shrimp beforehand to achieve a more enjoyable meal and more consistent flavor.
