Notes
Marinating the shrimp for at least thirty minutes will create deeper flavor.
Large shrimp sear well and stay juicy, though smaller shrimp work if cooked quickly.
Shrimp tails add a pleasant look but can be removed.
Frozen broccoli can be used when fully thawed and dried to prevent steaming.
Adjust the red pepper flakes for more or less heat depending on taste.
