Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely, Just thaw them overnight in the fridge or under cold running water. Pat them dry thoroughly - excess water makes the sauce watery. I actually keep a bag in my freezer for last-minute shrimp emergencies. If you are interested in other frozen cooking methods, check out our guide on air fryer chips .

How do I prevent rubbery shrimp?

Two words: don't overcook . Set that timer and check at 7 minutes. They should be just opaque - they'll keep cooking slightly after coming out of the oven. Overcooked shrimp become tough fast.

Can I make this ahead?

You can prep the butter sauce and shrimp separately up to 2 hours ahead, but bake right before serving. Leftovers reheat okay, but fresh is definitely best for texture.

What size shrimp works best?

Large (31/40 count) are perfect - big enough to impress but still cook quickly. Jumbo shrimp might need an extra minute, while small ones can overcook too fast.
