# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The entire meal cooks on one pan, which means maximum flavor with minimum cleanup
  • Old Bay does all the heavy lifting, so you get that classic seafood boil taste without boiling a single pot of water
  • Everything finishes at the same time, so you can actually sit down with your guests instead of manning multiple burners
02 -
  • Don't skip the step of roasting the potatoes first, or you'll end up with raw potatoes and overcooked shrimp
  • The pan will be crowded, but resist the urge to use two pans or nothing will roast properly
  • Shrimp go from perfect to rubbery in about 30 seconds, so set a timer and check them at the 7-minute mark
03 -
  • Line your pan with heavy-duty foil if you plan to use the broiler for extra char at the end
  • Buy the biggest shrimp you can afford, smaller ones cook too quickly and can become rubbery
  • Mix your Old Bay with a little garlic powder for extra depth without much extra effort
