Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When reheating, use the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to preserve the texture of the shrimp and vegetables. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals to avoid overcooking the shrimp. Avoid freezing, as shrimp can become rubbery when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, frozen shrimp can be used. Just ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before adding them to the dish. This helps achieve a better texture and prevents excess moisture from affecting the sauce.
What should I do if I don't have white wine?
If you don't have white wine, you can substitute it with chicken or vegetable broth. Alternatively, a mixture of vinegar and water can create a similar acidity. Just adjust the amount to taste, as broth may be saltier.
How can I make this dish more spicy?
To add some heat, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper into the mix. You can also serve it with a hot sauce on the side to allow guests to customize their spice level.
