# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours cooking when you've really only used fifteen minutes of prep time.
  • Naan does something magical under the broiler that regular pizza dough simply can't match.
  • The garlic butter creates this golden, almost decadent sauce that makes even simple shrimp feel fancy and special.
02 -
  • Shrimp cook so quickly that overdoing them by even one minute turns them from tender and succulent into rubbery disappointment; keep your heat moderate and your attention focused.
  • The broiler is not forgiving, so position your baking sheet in the middle of the oven and never look away; it's the final thirty seconds that determine whether your dish is restaurant-worthy or slightly burnt.
03 -
  • Buy the largest shrimp you can find because they look more impressive and are harder to accidentally overcook.
  • Keep a close eye on the broiler from the first moment it goes in; set a timer for two minutes and then decide if you need another minute or two based on what you see.
