Roasted Jumbo Shrimp for a Crowd
3 lbs. jumbo shrimp, shelled and cleaned
2 whole eggs
1 extra egg white
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt + more for sprinkling
2 Tablespoons dried parsley + more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons Cajun spice (use your own mix, chili powder, chipotle, etc.) + more for sprinkling
1/3 cup grated Parmesan + more for sprinkling
15 squirts hot sauce (we like Frank’s)
Serves about 8-10 as an entree if you load everyone up
Do a little prep
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
Season the shrimp
Clean your shrimp and gather your ingredients.
Put the shrimp in a large bowl. Add 2 whole egg plus one extra egg white.
Add the olive oil, hot sauce, 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 Tablespoons dried parsley, 1 1/2 Tablespoons cajun spice, and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan.
Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
Roast the jumbo shrimp
Line the shrimp up on your prepared sheet pans.
Sprinkle with a little additional garlic salt, dried parsley, cajun spice, and Parmesan.
Pop the pans into your preheated, 400-degree F oven.
Roast for about 12 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and firm and are just starting to curl.
Keep an eye on them, they cook quickly and can go from done to overdone in literally just a minute or two.
When the shrimp are done, you want to serve them hot out of the oven.
Yank the pans from the oven and set them on a rack.
Immediately plate them up and serve.
