Appetizer Tips -
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.
Appetizer Tips -
Red Pepper Flakes
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes up or down to achieve desired heat in this dish.
