- When selecting shrimp, make sure to purchase deveined and shelled shrimp for easy preparation.
- For best flavor, use fresh dill, lemon juice, and garlic in the marinade.
- Instead of Dijon mustard, use whole grain mustard. The benefit of this substitution is that whole grain mustard has a more robust flavor than Dijon mustard, which can add a more complex flavor to the dish.
- Instead of olive oil, use avocado oil. The benefit of this substitution is that avocado oil is higher in healthy fats than olive oil, making it a healthier choice for this dish.
