- Shrimp — Ensure that the shrimp is peeled and deveined before using in the recipe to avoid any unwanted grittiness.

- Customize the vegetables according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- To add a spicy kick, garnish with chopped chili peppers or serve with a side of chili sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
