Ina Garten Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic

Ina Garten Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic

This dish features jumbo shrimp roasted in the oven with a blend of lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and often finished with parsley or other fresh herbs. Roasting shrimp instead of sautéing them gives a slightly caramelized edge while keeping the insides juicy and succulent.
