Timing is key: Bake those shrimp until they’re perfectly golden; it’s better a bit overcooked than undercooked.
Crispy cravings?: For an extra crunch, you can pan-fry the shrimp instead of baking them. Just keep an eye on them!
Veggie swaps: Feel free to use any veggies you have on hand—zucchini, snap peas, or even baby corn will work wonders.
Sauce it up: If you like it spicier, add more sriracha to the sauce. Your taste buds will thank you!

Want to mix up the flavor? Try swapping out the shrimp for crispy tofu or chicken for a fun twist. You can also ditch the mayo for a vegan version—just use a plant-based alternative for that creamy texture.
