The Easiest Way To Cook Shrimp! (Baked Shrimp)

Ingredients

4 servings

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
1 tbsp avocado oil (or your preferred high-heat oil)
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the broiler on your oven. Arrange the baking rack about 5 inches away from the top heating element.
Place shrimp in a large mixing bowl, and pat dry with paper towels. Add oil and toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Transfer the shrimp to a large baking sheet, and arrange in an even layer. (Be sure that the shrimp do not overlap.) Season generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
Broil for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are bright reddish-pink and opaque. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve warm. Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
