# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It feels like a fancy restaurant meal but only takes about twenty five minutes from start to finish.
- The cleanup is incredibly minimal since everything roasts together on one single pan.
02 -
- Watch the shrimp closely during the last few minutes because they can turn rubbery very quickly.
- Letting the vegetables roast alone first ensures they are tender by the time the shrimp finish cooking.
03 -
- Keep the tails on the shrimp if you want a nicer presentation for guests.
- Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels before adding the sauce to help them roast rather than steam.
