Roasted Old Bay Shrimp
Description
This recipe uses peeled, deveined large shrimp seasoned simply with olive oil, minced garlic, and Old Bay seasoning, which is known for its balanced blend of spices including celery salt, paprika, and black pepper. The shrimp are placed in a single layer on a greased baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crisping where edges touch the pan.
The oven set to 400 degrees accelerates roasting, cooking the shrimp in 8 to 10 minutes until they turn pink and opaque but remain juicy and tender. Optional lemon halves placed on the baking sheet roast alongside the shrimp and can be squeezed just before serving, adding a lively citrus element to complement the spice mix and garlic.
This dish can be served warm as an appetizer, part of a seafood platter, or with sides like rice or salad for a light meal. Its quick oven method minimizes active preparation time while still yielding a flavorful, aromatic seafood experience enhanced by the Old Bay seasoning’s distinctive profile.
