For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture. Ensure the butter is cold before adding it to the sauce. This helps to create a richer, more stable emulsion. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery. They are done when they are pink and opaque. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. A sprinkle of extra Romano cheese and fresh parsley adds a final touch of elegance.
