For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.
If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be substituted, but use half the amount as the flavor is more concentrated.
Be mindful of the shrimp size and adjust cooking time accordingly. Smaller shrimp will cook faster.
Make sure the shrimp are very fresh for the best results. Look for shrimp with firm flesh and a mild sea scent.
