Notes
*We used Heinz.
the recipe doesnt say what to do with the roasted garlic.
After initially baking the garlic for 20 minutes, you’ll keep the garlic in the roasting pan with the shrimp and sauce mixture and continue baking for 30 more minutes. We recommend spreading the roasted garlic on some sliced bread and dipping in the sauce!
