Notes
- Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For best results, gently reheat the shrimp in a skillet over medium-low heat to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Serve these flavorful shrimp over pasta or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roasting in batches ensures the shrimp get nicely browned and cooked evenly.
