Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients and don’t skip the lemon juice to balance richness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently. For freezing, omit cream and shrimp initially, and add when reheating to maintain texture. Enjoy with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal!
