Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
How do I avoid overcooking the shrimp?
Add the shrimp partway through so they finish roasting alongside the asparagus, and pull them as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, thaw and pat dry first so they roast rather than steam.
