Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any size of shrimp you prefer, but cooking times may vary. Smaller shrimp will cook faster, while larger ones like tiger or jumbo shrimp will take a bit longer. Adjust the grilling time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through but not overcooked.

What can I substitute for Piri Piri sauce if I can't find it?

If Piri Piri sauce is not available, you can use a combination of hot sauce mixed with some lemon juice and a bit of olive oil for a similar flavor profile. Alternatively, sriracha or a spicy barbecue sauce can also work as a great substitute.

How should I store leftover shrimp and sauce?

You can store leftover shrimp and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, making sure not to overcook the shrimp to avoid them becoming tough.
