Notes
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
For a more citrusy flavor, increase lemon juice and add lemon zest.
Double the garlic for an even more intense garlic flavor.
For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with mushrooms or plant-based shrimp.
Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or Pinot Grigio for best results.
