Enjoy a flavorful and easy-to-make Cajun-style oven-broiled shrimp dinner. This quick recipe uses frozen shrimp and a homemade spice blend, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
Preheat the oven broiler to high and place the oven rack about 6 inches under the broiling element.
2
Combine kosher salt, garlic powder, paprika, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl to make the spice blend.
3
Place a rimmed baking sheet on the oven rack and preheat it for at least 10 minutes.
4
Put the frozen shrimp in a colander and rinse under cool running water for 1 minute to remove ice crystals. Shake the colander to remove excess water.
5
Add the shrimp to the spice blend in the bowl, and toss to coat them evenly.
6
Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven and quickly pour the seasoned shrimp onto it. You should hear them sizzle.
7
Using tongs, arrange the shrimp in a single layer, spaced apart.
8
Place the baking sheet back in the oven and broil for 5 minutes, until shrimp are slightly curved and opaque.
