Cooking tips 💡

• When heating the shrimp heads and shells, keep the heat low; high heat will cause oil to splatter and burn the ingredients.
• The true deep flavor of shrimp comes from the heads, so it is strongly recommended to use fresh or frozen whole shrimp and prepare them yourself instead of cocktail shrimp.
• If you plan to enjoy the leftover oil with pasta, set aside a ladleful of the concentrated shrimp oil before dipping bread, to use later.
