Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: For this recipe, large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) work best. They hold up well to the cooking process and have a nice bite.
  • Make sure the shrimp are deveined: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unappetizing. You can easily devein shrimp yourself using a small, sharp knife.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality habanero sauce: The habanero sauce is the key to this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh habaneros and has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: The shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and juicy.
