Notes
- Use Fresh Seafood: The fresher the ingredients, the better the flavor.
- Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Shrimp and crab should be just cooked to maintain tenderness.
- Thicken the Gravy if Needed: If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer a few extra minutes before combining with the seafood.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
