Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you’re serving this to kids or picky eaters, you can reduce the cayenne pepper or omit it altogether for a milder taste. For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley. If you prefer a smokier taste, try incorporating a teaspoon of smoked paprika. You can also substitute the shrimp with crab meat or a combination of both for a different seafood twist.
