💭 Recipe Tips:

• Avoid over-marinating the shrimp: Marinate for no more than 10 minutes to prevent the shrimp from becoming too acidic and tough.
• Substitute tequila with lime juice: Use extra lime juice instead of tequila for a similar tangy flavor without alcohol.
• Control spiciness by adjusting jalapeños: Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat, or add more slices for extra spice.
• Thicken the sauce properly: Reduce the sauce longer over medium heat if it’s too thin to reach the desired consistency.
