Notes
Helpful tip- You want the sauce to continue to stay hot. you do not want your sauce to be cold when coating your shrimp!!!
Also immediately after removing the shrimp from oil you want to coat in the sauce. this recipe requires you to make fast. you want to keep the shrimp crispy and the sauce hot! 🙂
