Shrimp is one of my favorite types of seafood, but I rarely make it....that's all going to change after last night's dinner. It was so easy and so fast!
I bought frozen shrimp from Sam's Club that was already peeled and deveined and let it thaw in a colander in the fridge. When it was time for dinner, I just lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out the shrimp....
I sprayed them with a little olive oil and sprinkled on some Sweet Basil, Citrus & Garlic seasoning. That's it!
Then I roasted them in a 425 degree oven for about 6-8 minutes and they were cooked to perfection!
Let me backtrack a little now....before I put the shrimp in the oven, I started roasting the sweet potatoes. I peeled them and cut them pretty small to cut back on cooking time. Then sprayed them with olive oil and seasoned them with salt & pepper. Super easy. They went into the 425 degree oven for about 20 minutes and I added the shrimp at the end.
Add a side of veggies or a simple salad and you've got a quick, healthy, delicious dinner. I was hoping to have some leftover shrimp, but the kids finished them all off. Good thing they're so easy to make!
