Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use raw shrimp for this recipe, as pre-cooked shrimp may become rubbery when cooked again.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
• For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth or seafood broth for a different flavor profile.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
