Why did the shrimp cross the road? To get to the other side—which, by the way, only takes about 30 seconds to cook. See? Timing is everything.
You’re going to nail this. Your shrimp will be plump, juicy, and so good you’ll do a little victory dance over the stove. And if you mess up? Hey, that’s what takeout menus are for.
Now go forth, brave cook, and conquer the sea’s most adorable, tasty, and time-sensitive treasure. You’ve got this. Shrimp on, my friend. Shrimp on.
