For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat mayonnaise and heavy cream. Adjust the amount of Sriracha and red pepper flakes to control the spice level according to your preference. Ensure the shrimp are not overcooked; they should be pink and firm, not rubbery. Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
