Note
For a more complete ratatouille experience, add diced eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions to the skillet before adding the sauce. Sauté vegetables until tender before introducing the tomato sauce.
Ensure shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to ensure a good sear.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
