    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Shrimp Deveining Pro 🦐
      When deveining shrimp, use a small paring knife to make a shallow cut along the back and remove the dark vein for a cleaner, more appealing presentation.
    • Flavor Layering Technique šŸŒ¶ļø
      Toast the Cajun seasoning and chili powder in the butter for 30 seconds before adding vegetables to intensify their aromatic compounds and develop deeper flavor.
    • Cornstarch Slurry Secret šŸ„„
      Mix the cornstarch with cold water before adding to the sauce to prevent lumping and ensure a smooth, glossy thickening effect.
    • Acid Balance Hack šŸ‹
      Add the lemon juice at the very end of cooking to brighten the entire dish and balance the rich tomato sauce without losing its fresh citrus notes.
    • Shrimp Cooking Precision ā±ļø
      Cook shrimp just until they turn pink and curl slightly - typically 2-3 minutes max - to prevent rubbery texture and maintain tender, juicy meat.
