# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The homemade sriracha sauce hits different than store-bought, and once you taste it you'll never go back
  • That mango salsa cuts through the heat in the most perfect way, like they were always meant to be together
02 -
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or they'll turn into tiny rubber bands, the moment they're pink and curled they're done
  • The salsa needs at least 10 minutes to hang out so the flavors can become friends before serving
03 -
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry before seasoning, otherwise the spices won't stick properly
  • Don't crowd the pan or the shrimp will steam instead of sear, work in batches if needed
