Notes

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet that is deep enough to contain the sauce and allow the shrimp to cook evenly in a single layer. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water; never use warm water. Watch the shrimp closely when broiling, as they cook very quickly.
