Chef's tips
Do not overcook the shrimp, as they only need 2 to 3 minutes per side to stay tender. Add datil pepper sauce a little at a time and taste as you go because spice levels vary.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Cooking the shrimp for too long until they turn tough and rubbery
- •Adding all the hot sauce at once without tasting the heat first
