Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and prepare vegetables and shrimp as needed.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are fully cooked; look for bright pink and opaque color.
  • For added flavor, experiment with vegetables like onions or green beans.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
