Cooks' Note

If you ever run out of cooking oil, this is a dish you can prepare without having to make a quick trip to the grocery for more! The recipe is as versatile as it is easy-you could easily substitute chicken breasts, fish fillets, rib-eye steaks, or pork chops for the shrimp, increasing the cooking time to 4 to 5 minutes per side.
