Notes
You are welcome to adjust spices used to fit what you prefer in terms of flavor. It is important to peel your shrimp so it can fully soak in all the seasonings and flavors as it cooks. You can make a slit on your shrimp with a paring knife, and then use a toothpick, to lift out the black vein in the shrimp. Once shrimp is prepped, it is important to rinse to ensure you remove any leftover debris on the seafood. Any size of shrimp will work, just adjust the cooking time to ensure your shrimp is fully cooked.
