Oven Roasted Shrimp is my absolute favorite way to prepare shrimp for just about every dish I use them in - they turn out plump, tender, juicy and super flavorful. Give it a shot and I promise you won't regret it!
Ingredients
1 pound medium-sized (17-21 count) shrimp, fresh or thawed if frozen, peeled and deveined, tails on
Extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack placed in the middle of the oven.
Toss the shrimp with olive oil: Pat the shrimp dry and lightly drizzle the shrimp with olive oil, about a tablespoon.
Season generously with salt and freshly-ground black pepper.
Toss lightly with your hands to ensure the shrimp is coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer on a baking sheet. The shrimp should fit on the baking sheet in a single layer, with plenty of space between the shrimp.
Bake until the shrimp turns white and pink and are just firm to the touch, about 6 - 8 minutes.
Remove and eat promptly, or let cool if you prefer. You can serve with your favorite cocktail sauce or use in other dishes.
Enjoy!
