Grilling shrimp in the oven is a quick and easy way to enjoy delicious seafood. With just a few simple ingredients and a baking sheet, you can have perfectly cooked shrimp in no time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined (with tails intact)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Additional seasonings of your choice (such as lemon juice and herbs)
EQUIPMENT
- Baking sheet
- Small bowl
- Brush or spoon for applying the seasoning mixture
- Oven mitts or tongs for safely handling the hot baking sheet.
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: While the oven is heating up, rinse and pat dry the shrimp. You can either leave the shrimp in their shells or remove them. If you decide to remove the shells, make sure to keep the tails intact.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. You can use any seasoning you like, but a simple mixture of lemon juice and herbs works well.
- Step 4: Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and brush them with the seasoning mixture. Make sure the shrimp are evenly coated on both sides.

Notes
- Make sure to preheat the oven before you start preparing the shrimp. This will ensure that the shrimp cook evenly and at the right temperature.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be pink and cooked through, but not rubbery. Depending on the size of the shrimp, they may take anywhere from 8-10 minutes to cook.
- If you’re leaving the shrimp in their shells, they may take a bit longer to cook.
- You can use any seasoning you like, but a simple mixture of lemon juice and herbs works well.
- Brush the shrimp with the seasoning mixture before grilling in the oven, this allows the seasoning to stick to the shrimp and will give it a nice and even coating.
