Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes. Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry before cooking to ensure proper browning and prevent excess moisture in the sauce.

How do I know when the shrimp is cooked through?

Shrimp are done when they turn opaque and pink, usually 2-3 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Cook the pasta and broccoli ahead, but cook the shrimp fresh. Store components separately and combine with the warm garlic-butter sauce just before serving.

What can I substitute for penne pasta?

Any pasta shape works—try spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine. Short shapes like farfalle also work well for catching the garlic-butter sauce.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be. Substitute gluten-free penne for regular pasta and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
