Ina Garten Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic
Instead of sautéing, this recipe uses roasting to concentrate flavor. Shrimp are tossed with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and seasoning, then cooked at high heat so they caramelize lightly without drying out. The result is clean, bold flavor with minimal cleanup.
