Cook's Notes

Note on Using Shrimp: This recipe is versatile and can be made with either raw or pre-cooked shrimp. If you're using cooked shrimp, simply sauté them for 1-2 minutes just to warm them through, as they are already fully cooked. If starting with raw shrimp, sauté them until they turn opaque and are cooked through, which should take about 4 minutes. Adjust your cooking time accordingly to ensure the shrimp are tender and not overcooked.
