Roasted Garlic Shrimp/prawns
From champagnetime 10 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4 to 6
I've been preparing my shrimp with this method for a number of years and rarely try another. Be sure to believe the baking times - they are correct and any longer will result in tough shrimp/prawns.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, cleaned, peeled and tail attached shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 T. olive oil (using 1/2 oil/1/2 Noilly Pratt works well also) shopping list
- salt & pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- On a heavy baking sheet, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper; add the cleaned shrimp and toss together gently. Spread out in a single layer. Roast for 3 minutes, turn shrimp over and continue roasting until shrimp are opaque and firm, another 2 to 4 minutes. Even for large shrimp, don't be tempted to cook longer than the extra 4 minutes - they will be done, trust me.
- Transfer the shrimp to a bowl scraping all the goodies into the bowl with the shrimp; cover loosely and chill until service.
