🌟 Chef’s Tips
-
Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh or properly thawed frozen shrimp work best.
-
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook shrimp in batches if necessary to get a perfect sear.
-
Cherry vs. Roma Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes release juices faster; Roma tomatoes work too but take slightly longer to soften.
-
Flavor Variations: Add olives, capers, or fresh basil for a Mediterranean twist.
-
Meal Prep Friendly: Make a double batch and store leftovers in the fridge for 2–3 days.
