For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic for about 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or snap peas based on your preference and seasonal availability. A splash of dry white wine added to the skillet along with the lemon juice can enhance the sauce's complexity. If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of mascarpone cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, omit them altogether.
