# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The entire meal cooks on one pan, leaving you with almost zero cleanup and maximum flavor
  • Its a party on a plate that somehow feels fancy enough for guests but casual enough for a weeknight
02 -
  • Shrimp overcook incredibly fast, so set a timer for the final 5 minutes and check them early
  • Cutting corn into pieces can be tricky so slice carefully with a sharp knife on a stable surface
03 -
  • Buy the largest sheet pan you can find, everything roasts better when food has room to breathe
  • Dry the shrimp thoroughly with paper towels before seasoning or they will steam instead of roast
