  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, plump shrimp, flavorful rice, and ripe vegetables.
  • Season the shrimp well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of seasoning on the shrimp. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more delicious.

  • Fluff the rice before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
