# Additional Tips::

01 -

It pulls together in under half an hour, which means weeknight dinners stop feeling like a battle.
The lemon and garlic punch tastes restaurant-quality without any fussy techniques or cleanup chaos.
It naturally fits every diet trend without tasting like you're missing out on anything.

02 -

Don't skip the lemon juice step—adding it after roasting keeps the citrus flavor sharp instead of getting muted by the heat.
Overcrowding the pan is the enemy; if your sheet feels packed, use two sheets instead and divide the ingredients evenly.

03 -

Pat the shrimp dry before tossing with oil—any moisture steams them instead of letting them cook with a little color.
If you love garlic, add one extra clove; the roasting mellows it so you won't end up with raw garlic harshness.
