Shrimp Cocktail ANYONE can do

  Shrimp is one of my absolute favorite indulgences. I love shrimp in pasta, salads, breakfast omlets, soups and even just thrown on the bbq for a late afternoon snack. Many of the custumers I see at the block have so many questions on how to cook shrimp, and the truth is they are so easy that EVERYONE can make them. In this recipe I use just 4 ingredients and a whole lot of love to make a shrimp cocktail that is out of this world.         What i find really great about roasting shrimp, instead of buying pre-cooked shrimp, is the depth of flavor the roasting process really leaves the shrimp with. The salt, pepper and olive oil are simply the icing on top of this super easy, super affordable and super healthy roasted shrimp cocktail.


Ingredients:

    1 lb large (26-30 ct) raw shrimp
   Olive oil
   Salt to taste ( i use about a 2 tsps)
   Pepper to taste (I use about 2 tsps)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

      Most shrimp are sold with the shell on. simple remove the shell and place in a baking dish just big enough to let every shrimp touch but not be on top of each other. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and before you know it your halfway there. Put shrimp in 400 degree oven on the middle rack for 10 minutes and they're done. Thats about as simple as it gets!
