Notes

  • You can use frozen shrimp – just make sure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute or add your favorite vegetables, like carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squirt of sriracha to the sauce.
  • Double the sauce if you like it extra saucy or are serving with rice.
