Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful dish, consider marinating the shrimp in lime juice and spices for about 30 minutes before cooking. If you don’t have bell pepper, you can substitute it with any mild pepper or even zucchini. Adding a pinch of cayenne can enhance the heat without overwhelming the dish. Adjust the amount of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce according to your taste preference.
Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh side like Crayfish Salad or a simple green salad. Consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
