Tips:

- Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking to save time and effort during meal preparation.
- To enhance the caramelization process, ensure your pan is hot before adding the sugar and stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers according to your heat preference.
