I found that the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I used a little bit of brown sugar instead of white sugar in the sauce and it gave it a really nice caramelized flavor.

I served these shrimp over a bed of rice and they were delicious. The sauce soaked into the rice and made it extra flavorful.

I used frozen shrimp for this recipe and they worked out great. I just thawed them before cooking.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy.
