- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- extra large or jumbo shrimp

❤️ What I Love About This Recipe:
- The oil really picks up the flavors of the herbs when it’s heated. That means the shrimp picks up those flavors when it’s roasted!
- I love the tang that the white wine vinegar adds to the flavor of the shrimp.
- This shrimp makes a good appetizer for happy hour too!

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!
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.
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!

love shrimp…this looks great!
Looks like it will be shrimp for dinner then!
Yum!
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!
Interesting! This is the 2nd blog I have read in 2 days that has roasted shrimp. Looks delicious and I must try!
That looks fabulous!
