Amazing Roasted Shrimp With Garlic

"This is one of the best shrimp dishes I've ever had. It was inspired by a similar dish I had at Bobby Flay's restaurant Bolo a while back. This is fantastic with a good crusty Italian bread to spread the garlic on and soak up the sauce, but you might also try it served over pasta, maybe with a splash of lemon juice. Edit: I added a bit of butter to the recipe as some reviewers have suggested for a richer sauce. Also, I tend to cook with little or no salt, so if it seems a little bland, try sprinkling a little (preferably kosher) salt."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Separate garlic cloves and peel them.
  • Place oil, chilies and garlic in a baking dish, small enough so that the oil completely covers the bottom, but large enough that the shrimp will fit in one layer Roast the garlic covered for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and easily mushed Stir in the butter and add the shrimp, stir to coat with oil and roast covered for another 5 minutes or so, just until the shrimp turns translucent Serve hot with Italian bread, spreading roasted garlic on the bread and soaking up the sauce with the bread.
  • Yum!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: To obtain maximum flavor of this dish, be sure to peel the shrimp BEFORE cooking. Five minutes is not enough time for the shrimp to absorb the flavor of the oil, garlic and chilis through the shell.

  1. This was delicious. I served the shrimp over some angel hair pasta with Parmesan cheese on top and also had bread to sop up the extra juices. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I have tried this with fresh and with frozen shrimp, wonderful. The last time I added some oregano, GREAT RECIPE!
     
  3. Absolutely outstanding. This was truly a treat. The only thing I did differently was to add a bit of butter to the oil when I added the shrimp. It just made the "sauce" a little richer. But what an excellent and easy dish to prepare. Fit for royality and everyday fare as well. Thank you Tom
     
  4. Hey Tom, This stuff is fantastic! I did add some fresh bread crumbs and parmasian at the end and stuck it under the broiler for a few seconds. I loved the way the garlic turned out. Thank you for posting.
     
  5. This was very surprisingly bland. I followed directions exactly except used crushed red pepper for chilis. I don't see what makes this so special...? I ate a few but will tweak it to see how I can make it savory.... Maybe by following some suggestions such as serving over pasta and topped with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, and adding butter for more flavor. I did love the garlic chips and will do that more often in dishes! I will definitely be adding parsley to this dish and serve lemon wedges alongside it next time. %u263A
