Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 12-16 oz frozen shrimp raw, peeled, deveined
  • 1/4 cup butter melted and slightly cooled, or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp oregano

Instructions

  • Mix together frozen shrimp and spices. Set aside. Place a baking sheet into the oven. Heat the broiler on high, with the baking sheet in the oven, for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove pan from oven. Sprinkle shrimp onto the baking sheet, and spread into a single layer. The baking sheet may sizzle and steam when you place the shrimp onto the hot baking sheet.
  • Return baking sheet to oven, making sure it's about 6-8" from the broiler coils and broil for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp is opaque and pink and just begins to curve.
  • Remove from oven and place onto a serving plate. Using a pastry brush, spread melted butter onto the shrimp.
