Recipe Tips

•

Ensure that the shrimp are completely thawed and patted dry before cooking to achieve a nice sear and prevent excess moisture, which can lead to steaming instead of sautéing.

•

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice and some zest from the lemon slices into the dish during the last minute of cooking to enhance the citrus notes without overpowering the whiskey.

•

Avoid burning the garlic by adding it to the pan after the oil is hot but before the shrimp. Cook the garlic until it's fragrant (about 30 seconds) before adding the shrimp to prevent it from turning bitter.
