PAPRIKA:

  • Paprika can include a bit of warm feeling in the dish along with a nice color. If you need an alternative for this, try using smoked paprika.

BLACK PEPPER & SALT:

  • Both of these ingredients help make the taste of the shrimp better than before.

LEMON JUICE:

  • This is a great ingredient for maintaining any extra-strong taste in the dish, and it also makes the dish more refreshing. If this is not present with you, try using apple cider vinegar.
