Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 2 pounds extra-large shrimp (21/25), peeled, deveined, and optional tails removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the shrimp.
- Prepare the shrimp: Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp on a baking sheet with sides. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Season with kosher salt, ground black pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning if desired.
- Roast the shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp cook quickly and can become tough if left too long.
Notes
- Use fresh or thawed shrimp for best results.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp while roasting to avoid overcooking.
- Old Bay Seasoning is optional but adds a classic seafood flavor.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
- You can adjust seasoning to taste, adding garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
