Notes
Use large-sized shrimp for a more enjoyable treat, like a 21-25 count.
Get the shrimp already cleaned and deveined for quick prep work.
Any lemon-lime soda will work for this recipe.
Fresh shrimp yield the best flavor, however, frozen shrimp (already peeled or shell-on) will work!
Any leftover shrimp should be promptly stored covered and refrigerated and must be consumed within 4 days.
While it's completely acceptable to freeze the cooked shrimp within a day or two if you're not able to eat them right away, I will not recommend freezing this dish as the flavors and texture are at their best when consumed right away.
