In a large bowl, toss the peeled shrimp with the garlic-herb mixture, seasoning with salt, pepper, and your choice of dried chilies or chili flakes.
4. Roast the Shrimp
Spread the seasoned shrimp in a large roasting pan. Pour your choice of stock, wine, or water over the shrimp. Place the pan in the heated oven.
5. Cook Until Done
Roast the shrimp, stirring once midway, until the sauce is bubbly, the shrimp have turned pink, and are cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Garlic & Herb Roasted Shrimp . Protein
Use a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and scallions in place of the herbs, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Create an Asian-inspired marinade by using ingredients like ginger, lemongrass, and a touch of fish sauce or oyster sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
Use boneless chicken cut into small pieces to ensure quick and even cooking. Marinate with the same garlic and herb mixture before roasting.
Add zest and juice from one lemon, lime, or orange to the marinade for a citrusy brightness that cuts through the richness. This pairs especially well with herbs like thyme and dill.
