🍽️ Tips for Perfection

• Use large shrimp (16–20 count) for juicy texture
• Don’t clean the pan before making sauce—those browned bits = flavor
• Add chopped parsley, green onions, or a lemon squeeze to brighten
• Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or steamed greens for balance

🧊 Storage & Reheat

⚠️ Not freezer-friendly due to cream and delicate shrimp texture.
