Peel and devein the shrimp. Place them on a sheet pan with the olive oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper and toss together. Spread the shrimp so that there is one layer and roast to 6-8 minutes, just until pink, firm and cooked through. Allow to cool for 3 minutes.

When the shrimp are cool, add to the sauce and toss. Add the dill, capers, and red onion and toss well. The flavors will improve if you allow the salad to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
