Notes
Feel free to scale this recipe up to make multiple bowls for the whole family.
Shrimp is cooked once it goes from translucent to opaque. If you overcook shrimp, it’ll taste rubbery.
Make sure the pan is hot before adding the shrimp to it for a crispy exterior.
You can use raw or frozen shrimp (thawed).
Make sure to dry off your shrimp completely with a paper towel, this allows the seasoning to stick to the shrimp.
I marinated the shrimp and pan seared them. You can grill them if you want.
