Notes
Thaw and dry frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, just make sure to thaw them completely first and then pat dry with a paper towel.Adjust time for different shrimp sizes. I prefer large shrimp in this recipe but if you use smaller or larger shrimp, you'll need to adjust the cook time accordingly. Keep in mind that shrimp cooks quickly - it should be pink and firm when pulled from the oven.
