Notes

Keep an eye on your shrimp, you don't want to overcook them and make them rubbery!
You don't need to line your baking sheet. Since the shrimp are tossed in the olive oil, there's no need for excess.
Play around with different combinations of seasoning etc. to make the shrimp flavored to your liking.
I always recommend using fresh shrimp, but if you do use frozen, just make sure the shrimp is fully thawed and remove any excess water before baking!
In the fridge this recipe will keep for 3 – 4 days in an airtight container, so feel free to make them ahead of time!
You can freeze the shrimp from this recipe for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
