Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (910 g) large shrimp (around 16 per pound) shelled and deveined, tails left on
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil or purchased equivalent
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
-
Preheat the oven to 425˚ F/220°C.
-
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towels on a large sheet pan, then toss them well with the olive oil, kosher salt and pepper right on the pan. I use a slightly ridged pan, but a flat one works, too.
-
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer (not overlapping) and roast for 5 to 7 minutes or until they have just turned pink and have just begun to curl. They should just be cooked through. Do not overcook.
-
Serve warm or chilled with lemon wedges or let them cool, remove the tail shell and add to salads.
