# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under thirty minutes, which means you can feed people without stress or a messy kitchen.
  • The garlic butter sauce is so addictive you'll find yourself licking your plate when no one's looking.
  • It feels fancy enough to serve guests but tastes like the kind of food you'd make just for yourself on a random Wednesday.
02 -
  • If your shrimp aren't dry before they hit the pan, they'll steam instead of sear, and you'll miss out on that caramelized flavor that makes everything taste better.
  • The broiler is your friend but also merciless—set a timer or stay nearby because the difference between perfectly golden and burnt is about two minutes.
03 -
  • Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking—shrimp cook so fast that scrambling for garlic mid-recipe will ruin the timing.
  • If your mozzarella seems watery, sprinkle it with a tiny pinch of cornstarch before broiling; it helps it melt more evenly instead of pooling at the edges.
