Cooking tips 💡

• Turn off the heat immediately after adding the shrimp to the bouillon to prevent overcooking and maintain a springy texture.
• Red onion has a strong sweetness and is good for raw pickling; soaking in vinegar removes its sharpness and adds a tangy flavor.
• Save the shrimp heads and shells to use later for seafood stock or bisque sauce.
