Recipe Notes
As mentioned, depending on the size of the shrimp that your are using, you can use a medium skillet or large skillet to make this recipe.
I also mentioned that the shrimp should be cleaned, as demonstrated bove. Not over cooking your shrimp is also important in the success of this recipe. You will know when your shrimp is done when it turns from that gray color of raw shrimp to the pink-white color. It usually only takes a few minutes to cook shrimp. You can avoid getting that 'rubber-like' shrimp by not over-cooking it. Keep an eye on your shrimp while it is cooking to make sure that they do not over cook.
