Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely, Just thaw them overnight in the fridge or under cold running water first. Pat them extra dry - frozen shrimp tend to hold more moisture. I actually keep a bag in my freezer for last-minute dinners.

How do I know when the shrimp are done?

Look for that perfect "C" shape - they'll turn pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp curl tight like an "O" and get rubbery. When in doubt, pull one out and check at 10 minutes.

Can I prep this ahead?

You bet, Chop all your veggies and season the shrimp up to 4 hours before. Keep them separate in the fridge until baking time. The olive oil coating actually helps prevent sogginess.

Why are my veggies soggy?

Two likely culprits: overcrowding the pan (use two if needed) or not roasting at high enough heat. That 425°F blast is what gives you those gorgeous caramelized edges.

What's the best pan to use?

My trusty half-sheet pan works perfectly - the rimmed edges catch any juices. Dark pans can brown faster, so check a few minutes early if using one. For more information on maximizing oven crispiness, you might find resources on roasting vegetables helpful.
