Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely, Just thaw them overnight in the fridge or under cold running water, and pat them super dry before using. Frozen shrimp actually work great because they're usually flash-frozen at peak freshness. My trick? Buy the "easy peel" kind - they're already deveined and save you a step.

How spicy is this dish?

With just 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, it's got a gentle warmth that won't overwhelm. But here's my secret - I often add an extra pinch because I love that tingle. Start with the recipe amount, then taste the oil mixture before baking - you can always sprinkle more flakes on at the end.

Can I make this ahead for a dinner party?

You bet, Prep the shrimp with all the seasonings up to 2 hours before and keep them chilled. When guests arrive, just spread on the sheet pan and bake. The parsley garnish makes it look fancy with zero last-minute stress.

Why does my shrimp sometimes stick to the pan?

Two words: hot oven. Make sure it's fully preheated, and don't skimp on the oil. If you're really worried, line the pan with parchment - but you'll lose some of those delicious crispy bits.
