Notes
- Marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes only to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Cook the shrimp just until they turn opaque; overcooking can make them tough.
- Adjust the chili powder to suit your heat preference.
- If substituting with another protein such as chicken or tofu, modify the cooking time accordingly.
- For best texture, serve the dish immediately after assembling.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and consume within one day to retain freshness.
