How To Make shrimp done perfect

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Coat shrimp with olive oil and spread on a foil lined cookie sheet that you have sprayed with Pam. Place shrimp on cookie sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Bake for 5 - 6 minutes or until shrimp is bright pink. "DO NOT OVERBAKE" or shrimp will be tough.
  • Step 2
    For a spicy shrimp, omit the salt and pepper and sprinkle with cajun seasonings. I use the cajun seasoning method when I make jambalaya.
  • Step 3
    You can use this in any dish that calls for shrimp.
