Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes, frozen shrimp works just as well. Just make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking to ensure they sear properly.
Q: What type of rice works best for this recipe?
A: Jasmine rice is a great option because of its light and fluffy texture, but you can also use basmati, brown rice, or even quinoa if you prefer a heartier base.
Q: Can I make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! The teriyaki sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the fridge and reheat it before tossing with the shrimp.
