Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
While the shrimp cooks, prepare the Thousand Island dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, and hot sauce until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Transfer the roasted shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature with the Thousand Island dressing on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
