*To cook my shrimp, I simply placed a pound of cleaned shrimp in a hot pain with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and a bit of fresh pepper and cooked them over medium heat for 8 minutes or so, until bright pink and opaque. Serve the shrimp hot or cold, depending in your preference (I chose cold and chilled them until ready to serve).

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
