Notes

For a vegan option, substitute shrimp with grilled mushrooms or tofu. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Add a splash of white wine to the butter mixture for an extra flavor boost. Always opt for fresh shrimp for the best quality, and avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness!
