Cooking Tip
Large Shrimp
The larger the shrimp, the better. Prawns also work very well. Marinating the shrimp in your favorite citrus for a few hours, prior to using them in this recipe breaks down the shrimp, and allows the garlic and red pepper flavors to infuse into the shrimp.
Cooking Tip
Red Pepper Flakes
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes up or down to achieve desired heat in this dish.
