Notes
Peel and Devein Shrimp: Pull the main part of the shell off first, and then then tail (unless you'd like to keep the tail on, which I sometimes do). Devein by using a paring knife and cut a slit along the top of the shrimp and then remove all of the vein.
Use Raw Frozen or Cooked Frozen Shrimp: Thaw the shrimp by either letting thaw in the fridge overnight or place shrimp in a colander and run cold water of it until thawed. Marinate the same and then cook raw frozen for 2-3 minutes on each side or frozen for 60-90 seconds.
Substitute: Whatever veggies you have! Add more or less of anything you'd like and make it your own!
