- 2 Tablespoons shrimp seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil

- Brush the butter mixture over the entire shrimp. Repeat for all shrimp.
- Place all prepared shrimp onto wire rack over baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
Notes
- This recipe calls for colossal shrimp, with the shell on. You can use jumbo shrimp such as Black Tiger shrimp, just cut the time down to 8-10 minutes.
- Most colossal shrimp you will find will be frozen, so it's perfectly fine to use frozen shrimp - however, you definitely want to let them thaw before you begin. That way the seasoning rub won't slide right off when baking.
- We are using our homemade shrimp seasoning which adds tons of flavor. However, you can substitute with store-bought seasoning or your favorite blend.
