Notes
- The garlic — Although it might be easy to overlook the garlic, it’s as important as the shrimp and the coating. We strongly recommend using fresh garlic and staying away from pre-minced ones. This will take your dish to another level.
- The acidity — Although we might have mentioned that a splash of lemon juice could very well improve the seasoning of your dish, if you’d like to take things further, you might want to consider using wine or vinegar. Both will provide a richer flavor than your average lemon juice, making your Giovanni’s shrimp even better.
