Equipment

  • Broiler
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, deveined
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Lemon wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat Broiler:

  • Start by heating up your broiler for quick and efficient cooking.

Thaw and Pat Dry:

  • If your shrimp are frozen, thaw them and pat them dry for optimal tenderness.

Add Breadcrumbs (Optional):

Notes

  1. We tested this dish with both jumbo and big shrimp. You can use any size shrimp you find; just be careful to adjust the amount of seasoning to suit the size of shrimp you use.
  2. This shrimp can be served as a starter or a main course.
  3. The size of the shrimp and the oven will determine how long they are baked for. You will know the shrimp are done when they start to curl.
