Gotchas — read before the live push

• The sheet pan will be blazing after the broiler — dry towel, not the thin one.
• If the shrimp shed liquid onto the pan, spoon it off before the flip so they char instead of steam.
• Don’t marinate past ~45 min — yogurt marinades turn shrimp mushy. The built-in ~30 min while the veg roasts is the design.
• Mayo freshness check before it touches the cabbage — smell and taste; if the jar predates the 7/11 overhaul, use store-bought.

After dinner: cook-log entry (verdict on the recipe as written — first cook; how the slaw played standalone), set last-cooked: 2026-07-12 on the recipe, fold durable lessons into its Notes, archive the brief.
