- Be sure to use raw shrimp for this recipe, as cooked shrimp will not have the same texture when cooked.
- For the Mountain Dew or Sprite, use whichever you prefer or have on hand.
- Substitute the soy sauce with tamari sauce for a gluten-free version. Tamari is a similar soy sauce that is made without wheat and is gluten-free. This substitution allows those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy the dish.
- Substitute the Mountain Dew with orange juice for a healthier version. Orange juice is a great source of vitamin C and other essential vitamins and minerals, while Mountain Dew is mostly sugar and caffeine. This substitution allows for a healthier version of the dish.
