Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
Choose Fresh Seafood: Opt for fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
Use a Large Pan: Use a large skillet or wok to ensure that the shrimp have enough space to cook evenly.
Cook the Shrimp in Batches: If you're cooking a large quantity of shrimp, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: You can make the sauce for the shrimp ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook.
Serve with Rice or Noodles: Spicy Island Shrimp is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.
