Notes
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of water or olive oil. Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. Don't overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and just firm to the touch. Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. For a richer taste, you can add a splash of cream to the sauce. You can also add vegetables like cherry tomatoes or spinach for extra flavor.
