# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes but tastes like you spent your whole evening cooking.
  • The crispy naan base stays chewy in the middle while the cheese gets all bubbly and golden on top.
  • Garlic butter and shrimp is basically a flavor combination that never lets you down.
02 -
  • Don't walk away during broiling—ovens vary wildly and the difference between golden and burnt is about 90 seconds.
  • If your shrimp release liquid while cooking, that's normal and adds flavor, but if there's too much pooling, drain some off before adding the cream.
  • Room-temperature naan works fine if you forget to grab them from the freezer, so don't stress about thawing.
03 -
  • Buy pre-peeled shrimp to cut your prep time in half—it's one of those shortcuts that actually makes sense.
  • If your cheese isn't browning fast enough, you can broil from closer to the heat source, but watch like a hawk.
