Notes
- Store leftover roasted shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat to prevent rubbery shrimp.
- Serve these garlicky shrimp over pasta or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches for perfectly browned shrimp, ensuring even cooking.
