This is the easiest, most fool-proof way I know of for cooking shrimp. Roasted black pepper shrimp come out tasting fantastic each and every time. You can serve them with cocktail sauce (I prefer Frog Bone’s Bayou cocktail sauce, it has a great kick to it). Or, on sandwiches, like my very good roasted black pepper shrimp po boy. Or, just pop them in your mouth as-is!
It’s almost impossible to mess these shrimp up. Almost. Just be sure to not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp tell you when they are done by turning pink. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
