# Expert Tips:

01 -

It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent minutes.
The sauce clings to everything, turning simple rice or noodles into something memorable.
Shrimp cooks so fast that even on your most scattered evenings, dinner is done.

02 -

Shrimp goes from perfect to rubbery in about 30 seconds, so pull it off the heat the moment it's cooked through—the carryover heat finishes the job.
The sauce thickens as it cools, so if yours seems thin in the pan, don't panic; it'll coat everything beautifully once it settles.
