Cooking tips

Cooking shrimp over heat for too long makes them dry, so sear for only 15 seconds, then turn off the heat and use residual heat for a moist texture.
Adding a little sherry vinegar or regular vinegar when adding the shrimp enhances the flavor.
Slice the garlic thickly, as thin slices can burn quickly.
