Shrimp is one of the easiest go to options for an appetizer, or entree. It is not something all people make at home, so it seems special and when made right, is sweet and tender and nothing like the watery, tasteless, pale creatures thawed out on that round plastic tray.

Here are a few tips to perfect, easy shrimp. First, don’t buy thawed out previously frozen, and get the large or jumbo. If you are purchasing it fresh from the shrimp boat then thawed is ok, if not, then frozen will give you the freshest finish.

Thaw out just before you cook them by placing in a zip lock bag and submerge for a few minutes in warm water, changing water as needed.

Master Recipe for Roasted Shrimp
Peel and devein if desired, leave tails on for looks and it makes a nice handle.
Place in a zip lock, drizzle in oil, olive or lemon olive is nice, not too much
Sprinkle in seasoning of choice, and a good pinch of sugar, this gives them a nice surface texture when roasting. Shake to disperse and place shrimp on a non stick baking sheet, don’t crowd them. Roast at 425 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes depending on the size. Don’t overcook. Cooked right, shirimp is very light and tender. Over cooked makes them tough and chewy. They are done when they just become opaque, and are just becoming firm. To stop the cooking, remove from oven, slide onto a dish and place in the freezer for just a few minutes.

You can now arrange them as a shrimp cocktail, load up in warm tortillas, partner with a nice fillet, or skewer for a Bloody Mary garnish. The possibilities are endless…and delicious!
