# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in thirty minutes, which means weeknight dinner doesn't have to feel like a compromise.
  • It tastes like you spent way more time and effort than you actually did, making it perfect for impressing people without the stress.
  • The naan does double duty—it's your base, your bread, and part of what makes this feel indulgent instead of ordinary.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking shrimp—if your pan is packed, the shrimp steam instead of searing, and they cook unevenly; work in batches if needed, and your texture will be infinitely better.
  • The broiler is both your best friend and your potential enemy—it cooks fast and stops for no one, so stay in the kitchen and keep your eyes on those pizzas rather than wandering off to check your phone.
03 -
  • Buy shrimp that smell like the ocean, not like ammonia or chemicals—good shrimp should have a clean, briny scent, and this tells you they're fresh and worth your effort.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, prep everything the morning before and store the shrimp mixture in the fridge and your topped naans on a separate baking sheet; then broil them just before serving so everything is hot and the cheese is still melted and perfect.
