  • To prevent the shrimp from overcooking, cook them over medium-high heat for only a few minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. If you do, they will steam instead of roast and will not have the same delicious flavor.
  • If you do not have a roasting pan, you can use a large skillet or griddle instead. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Parsley pesto is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, not just shrimp. Try it on grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
