Ingredients for Amazing Roasted Shrimp With Garlic

  • 1 head of garlic (about 12-16 cloves)
  • Dried Chilies
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Large Shrimp
  • Crusty Italian Bread

How to Make Amazing Roasted Shrimp With Garlic

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Separate and peel 1 head of garlic (about 12-16 cloves).
  3. In an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inch), combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2-3 small red chilies (finely chopped or sliced), and the peeled garlic cloves. The oil should cover the bottom of the dish.
  4. Roast the garlic, covered, for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and easily mashed with a fork.
  5. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the baking dish. Gently toss to coat with the oil and garlic.
  6. Roast uncovered for another 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque throughout. (Note: 5 minutes may not be enough for the shrimp to fully cook and absorb flavors. Cooking time depends on size of shrimp.)
  7. Serve immediately. Spread the roasted garlic onto crusty Italian bread and soak up the delicious sauce. Consider serving over pasta with a splash of fresh lemon juice for extra zest!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
