Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you like the recipe. For perfectly cooked shrimp, I find that quick cooking over medium-high heat is key—about 2-3 minutes per side until they're pink and opaque. As for sides, I love serving it over pasta or with a fresh green salad. Enjoy your dinner—it's sure to be delicious!
