Simple Roasted Shrimp

The warmer is gets, the simpler I like my dinners.  Like really, really simple.

Like, "on my table in LESS THAN 15 minutes" simple.

Simple Roasted Shrimp
Prep time: 2 minutes   Cook time: 8-10 minutes

1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 tbsp seasoning blend of your choice

1.  Preheat oven to 400.

Showing some MD love with my seasoning of choice!

2.  Spread out the shrimp on a cookie sheet and drizzle with the EVOO; toss to coat everything.

We prefer our shrimp completely naked of shells and tails.

3.  Sprinkle as much or as little seasoning as you like all over the shrimp.  Again, toss the shrimp to coat.

Don't be shy. If you can't see the seasoning, you can't taste it.

4.  Roast for about 8-10 minutes, until pink and curled.  If a few still look a little grey around the edges, just let the shrimp rest a few minutes on the hot cookie sheet.

Pink and perfect!

I truly don't think it gets any simpler or faster than shrimp.  And it's so versatile!  Enjoy these little beauties on top of some hot pasta with a drizzle of EVOO and some fresh herbs.  Load a bowl full and use a hunk of fresh, crusty bread to sop up the juices.  OR let these cool down and store them in the fridge instead.  Because eating these cold on a bed of fresh spinach that's been dressed in Italian dressing is out of this world.
