Notes
- Don’t overcook the shrimp – they become rubbery quickly. As soon as they turn pink and curl up, they’re done.
- For extra char, use a cast-iron skillet instead of a non-stick pan.
- Like it spicier? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- Prefer grilling? Skewer the shrimp and grill for 2–3 minutes per side.
