# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The sauce comes together in minutes but tastes like it simmered for hours
- Perfect balance of sweet heat that keeps everyone coming back for more
02 -
- Dry shrimp before marinating or the sauce will not cling properly during cooking
- Do not crowd the pan or the shrimp will steam instead of getting that nice sear
03 -
- Use a very hot pan and do not move the shrimp too much while they sear
- Let the sauce reduce until it really coats the back of a spoon
