Notes
Overcrowding the pan - Make sure you do not overcrowd your pan while sautéing shrimps. Cook them in one layer. Once cooked, remove and then add the next batch.
Overcooking Shrimps - Shrimp cooks fast. So, keep a close eye. Cook just until it turns opaque and light pink around the edges. Overcooked shrimps will become chewy.
Coconut Oil - It is best if you use coconut oil. It has a sweet, nutty taste which'll make your recipe, worth it.
Lime Juice - Don't forget to squeeze in some lime juice to brighten up the flavors.
Heat - If you want it spicer, you can add some chopped jalapenõs or serrano peppers as well.
