Notes
Storage: Cool completely and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Make-Ahead: This dish is ideal for meal prep; the flavors deepen overnight. For best results, undercook the shrimp slightly when initially cooking and add them during reheating. Substitutions: Use chicken breast or chickpeas instead of shrimp for a variation. For a dairy-free version, ensure ghee is substituted with coconut oil. Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
