Roasted Shrimp, Peel & Eat

Roasted Shrimp, Peel & Eat

Shrimp might be the easiest shellfish to prepare, and perhaps the most delicious!  This is my favorite way to prepare shrimp and my go-to recipe.  Shrimp tastes better when cooked in the shell; plus it is fun to eat with your hands.  You can prepare and serve in minutes... enjoy!

1 lb. 16/20 ct. shrimp, raw with shell, patted dry

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp. kosher salt

cracked black pepper, to taste

lemon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Toss shrimp, oil, salt, and pepper together

Spread shrimp in a single layer on baking sheet

Roast 3 minutes, turn over

Roast 1-2 more minutes until pink and flesh is almost opaque

Squirt with fresh lemon and serve immediately.  Serve with extra olive oil for dipping, cocktail sauce, or eat just as they are!
