Baked Shrimp

After grilling, baking in the oven is our favorite way to cook Gulf Shrimp. It's super easy, with minimal cleanup, and cooks to perfection every time.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash, peel, and devein shrimp. To devein, insert a sharp paring knife into where the vein appears, blade up, and slit the back of each shrimp. Wash out the vein. Pat cleaned shrimp dry.

In a mixing bowl, toss shrimp in a light coating of your favorite oil (olive, pecan, melted butter, etc.). Add your favorite seasoning for flavor. We like salt 'n pepper with garlic powder, Old Bay, or Penzey's Fox Point. Spread shrimp flat on a parchment paper lined, rimmed baking pan/cookie sheet.

Jumbo Shrimp - Bake in oven for 9.5 minutes.

Large Shrimp - Bake in over for 8.5 minutes.

Remove shrimp from oven and enjoy!
