Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the shrimp and arugula.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't overcook the arugula: Arugula is a delicate green that should be added to the dish at the very end. Overcooking it will make it wilt and lose its flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: This dish should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice.
