Notes
My Top Tip: Watch the heat. Cook the shrimp over medium heat, not high. Too much heat causes them to curl up tight and turn rubbery before they have a chance to cook through evenly.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet until warmed through.
