For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. Ensure the shrimp is patted dry before cooking to achieve a beautiful sear. Do not overcook the shrimp, as it can become rubbery. Cook just until pink and opaque. Serve over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
