Notes

Choose high-quality, fresh shrimp for the best results. Adjust the spice level based on your preference—start mild and add more heat gradually. Serve in mini martini glasses or with crusty bread for an elegant touch. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; if freezing, separate shrimp from brine. Make sure to always sanitize jars before use to prevent contamination.
