Ingredients
Scale
Baked Shrimp Ingredients:
- 2 lbs raw shrimp 16-20 ct, peeled and deveined with tail-on
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lemon cut into 4 wedges to serve ((optional))
Shrimp Cocktail Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup mild chili sauce we like Heinz
- 3–4 Tbsp prepared horseradish or add to taste
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed, or to taste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce such as Tabasco, or to taste
Instructions
- Thaw the shrimp according to the directions on the package, then rinse with cold water and dry well with paper towels. Place shrimp on a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle on 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine, then arrange shrimp in a single layer.
- Bake at 450˚F for 8-10 min or until shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. As soon as they come out of the oven, test a shrimp for doneness, then transfer all shrimp to a serving platter. If they stay on the hot baking sheet, they can get overcooked.
- Combine all the ingredients for the cocktail sauce and add horseradish and spicy sauce as you like (add more if you like cocktail sauce with a spicy touch and less if you prefer a mild sauce). Cover and refrigerate sauce and shrimp for at least an hour or overnight. Serve chilled.
Notes
* If using smaller 18-25 count shrimp, roast 6–7 min
