Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, buy your seafood, herbs, and vegetables from a local market or farm.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality whiskey: The whiskey you use in the sauce will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The shrimp will start to get tough if it sits for too long.
