Notes

Shrimp: I used large shrimp, you can use a different size if you prefer, just keep in mind that the smaller they are, the quicker they'll cook. Small/medium shrimp might be ready in 5 minutes while extra-large or jumbo will need 8 minutes. I don't recommend using very small shrimp though as they could overcook very quickly.
