    I love how different this is….the roasting of the herbs in olive oil first is such a great idea. It is things like this that makes me wonder why didn’t I think of this! Looks delicious!

  2. Lucy says:

    I am so making this! I make a barbecue shrimp that we love, but it’s so unhealthy that we just can’t eat it very often. But this would be healthy and delicious. Anything with rosemary works for me.

  3. Barbara says:

    This looks great, Lori. I know Ina Garten roasts her shrimp all the time, but never like this. I eat shrimp a lot…am going to try this next time. I bet that rosemary smells divine.

    We made this dish TWICE at our house last week–it was that good. Reading through your great post reminded me of the aromas and flavors all over again–thanks!

    That sounds like a great technique, I’m going to try that. I certainly wouldn’t mind having my kitchen waft of rosemary, thyme and olive oil!
