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.
