# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The cleanup is virtually non existent since everything roasts on one tray.
- The garlic butter sauce soaks into every vegetable making them just as good as the shrimp.
02 -
- Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery so keep a close eye on them during those last few minutes.
- Adding the shrimp later prevents them from drying out while the vegetables finish cooking.
03 -
- Line the sheet pan with parchment paper for the absolute easiest cleanup ever.
- Let the pan sit for a minute after cooking so the sauce thickens slightly.
