RECIPE TIPS
You can make this recipe as an appetizer or as a full meal. For a full meal you can serve this succulent shrimp recipe with spaghetti or rice.
We like to use extra virgin olive oil, adds a little more flavor to the recipe and is healthier.
Cook the shrimp until it turns from gray to pink. This will help ensure it is not overcooked. We want the shrimp to be tender and juicy.
