- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

- Add a splash of lemon juice to the shrimp just before serving to enhance the flavors.

- Ensure the shrimp is not overcooked by watching for its color to turn pink and tails to curl slightly.

- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions for added color and freshness.
