FAQ
Q: Can I use frozen shrimp?
A: Yes! Just thaw them completely before cooking and pat dry to avoid excess moisture in the sauce.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free cheese alternative. Flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
Q: Can I prepare it ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the shrimp and sauce ahead, but bake only when ready to serve for the best texture and flavor.
