Notes
*If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some smoked garlic, use it. You’ll love it.
*If you can’t find garlic sriracha seasoning, season shrimp with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt then just before they are finished cooking, add 1 tablespoon sriracha and shake pan/stir to coat shrimp.
