Frequently Asked Questions - Candies UI
Q: How do I know when the shrimp is done?
A: Shrimp is finished cooking when it forms a "C" shape and turns opaque. If it curls into an "O", it's overcooked!
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes! Just make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry with a paper towel before cooking to ensure a good sear.
Q: What should I serve with this?
A: At Candies UI, we recommend serving this over a bed of fluffy rice, pasta, or with a piece of crusty bread to soak up that delicious butter sauce.
