Shrimp Cocktail - Garlic Roasted

By Jan_C

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb. jumbo shrimp (16-20 count), shells peeled, tails left on
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
• 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
• Cocktail Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 450°F. Remove the vein from the shrimp, if necessary. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the shrimp on a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 3 min., turn the shrimp over with tongs, and continue roasting until the shrimp are opaque and firm, another 2 to 4 min. Transfer the shrimp to a shallow dish, cover partially, and refrigerate. When the shrimp are thoroughly chilled (after about 2 hours), serve them with cocktail sauce.
