Notes
Storage Tips:
Leftovers can be stored for 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To freeze this dish, wait until shrimp has cooled completely before freezing, and place in an airtight container. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat gently (over the stovetop is preferred.) Expert Tips:
For extra flavor, don’t be afraid to play around with other herbs or spices. You can add oregano, thyme, or basil to this dish (fresh or dried), or up the lemon flavor even more by adding more lemon juice. Also, add more or less of the crushed red pepper depending on your spice tolerance.
