  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and sustainably sourced seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, carrots, or zucchini.
  • Adjust the seasonings to your taste: The amount of lemon juice, garlic, and pepper in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a more lemony flavor, add more lemon juice. If you like a more garlicky flavor, add more garlic. And if you like a spicier dish, add more pepper.
