Tips
- Keep the flame high throughout the cooking process
- Do not overcook the shrimps, they will become hard
- Keep all the ingredients ready in advance as all the cooking is on high flame and you will need to be quick
- You can also use vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli, and sugar snap peas
- You can use either precooked/raw frozen shrimp or fresh raw shrimps. For frozen shrimps, take it out of the freezer and place it in a bowl in the fridge so it thaws naturally or run it under icy cold water (not warm) just before cooking. Putting frozen shrimp in the microwave to defrost is not recommended.
