Recipe Tips
- How to know shrimp is done: Shrimp should be opaque, pink, and curled into a loose “C” shape.
- Can I use frozen shrimp? Yes, just thaw and pat dry before roasting.
- Can I double the recipe? Absolutely—use two sheet pans so the shrimp roast evenly.
- What if I don’t have jumbo shrimp? Medium or large shrimp work too; reduce cooking time by 2–3 minutes.
- How to add more flavor: A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a little heat.
What To Serve With Roasted Shrimp
This bright, citrusy shrimp pairs perfectly with:
- Garlic butter pasta
- Fresh garden salad

How To Store Roasted Shrimp
Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over medium-low heat or serve chilled in a salad.
Freeze: Not recommended once cooked, as shrimp can become rubbery.
