Christina's Notes
- Recipe Can be Doubled: Great recipe for a crowd. Simply increase the ingredients proportionately and follow recipe below
- Do Not Crowd: Make in small batches and do not crowd for extra crispy shrimp.
- More Sauce: Use this sauce as a dipper or for more pasta sauce so definitely make extra.
- Rack: Remove and set aside the cooked shrimp on a wire rack or paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil. Excess oil makes crispy shrimp sogg
