Tips
- Ensure your shrimp is thawed and dry before seasoning. This can be done by laying them on a paper towel and patting them dry.
- Ensure your shrimp are cleaned- remove the outer shell, tail, and vein.
- Overcooking your shrimp can cause them to be tough, pay close attention to the color of the shrimp, and once they turn an opaque color, remove them from the pan and go on to the next step.
