Notes

Use the freshest seafood possible for best results. You can replace shrimp with scallops or add white fish if desired. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; avoid freezing as seafood texture may suffer. Enjoy with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the sauce!
