For a richer flavor, use butter that has been browned slightly before adding the onions. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Ensure the shrimp are fully cooked before serving. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Pair with a crisp white wine or a refreshing beer that was used in the recipe. Feel free to substitute chicken broth for water to deepen flavor.
