Taste the freshness of the sea with a little modification! These shrimps will be the best food you will ever have. Garlic and butter, I can tell that you can already imagine how awesome these shrimps are! Try adding a little chili if you want it to be spicy. This is perfect to eat with fried rice. For the dipping sauce, I suggest anything sour. This is already perfect but if you prefer having a dipping sauce, it’s okay. Enjoy!
