- When selecting the shrimp, make sure to buy 13/15 easy-peel shrimp that have been thawed and peeled.
- For the oil, use peanut oil for best flavor.
- Substitute coconut oil for peanut oil - Coconut oil has a higher smoke point than peanut oil, so it is better suited for high-temperature cooking. This makes it a better choice for cooking shrimp, as it will not burn as easily.
- Substitute agave nectar for honey - Agave nectar is a vegan-friendly sweetener that is lower on the glycemic index than honey. It is also less processed than honey, making it a healthier option for those looking to avoid refined sugars.
