Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off, your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon creole seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic (about 2 large cloves)
  • 2 lemons, divided
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves (or about ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, thyme, or chives

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, creole seasoning, garlic, juice from 1 lemon, and fresh rosemary leaves.
  2. Place the shrimp in a large zip-top plastic bag and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Marinate the shrimp for about 10-15 minutes while you wait for the oven to preheat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy cleanup) and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the shrimp and the marinade onto the prepared baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Roast the shrimp for 9-12 minutes, or just until they're pink, stirring halfway through. Be sure to keep an eye on the shrimp so that you don’t overcook them.
  4. Remove them from the oven and squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon over top. Toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

  • How to Store: Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
