Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 2 tbsp orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, orange juice, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the raw shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat all shrimp evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the shrimp.
Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
Serve immediately as a main dish with rice or salad, or as an appetizer. Enjoy your delicious Roast Shrimp with Orange and Rosemary!
