What is the fastest way to cook shrimp?

Baking (or technically, broiling) shrimp is by far the easiest and quickest and most reliable way I know to cook shrimp. An entire batch can be ready to go in less than 10 minutes from start to finish. The shrimp are always perfectly cooked, with a bit of crisp on the outside, yet still nice and tender inside.

Whatever your preferred high-heat cooking oil may be. I like to use avocado oil for this recipe. Seasonings: I usually just use a generous sprinkle of Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper. But feel free to add in whatever other dry seasonings you prefer.

How To Cook Shrimp In The Oven:

To bake shrimp in the oven, simply:

Pat the shrimp dry. Blot with some paper towels to remove any excess moisture, especially if your shrimp were frozen and have just been thawed. Toss with oil. Toss with oil until the shrimp are evenly coated, either in a mixing bowl or just directly on the baking sheet. Arrange on the baking sheet. It’s essential that the shrimp are in an even layer (no overlapping) for even cooking. Season. I typically just sprinkle my shrimp with Kosher salt and lots of freshly-cracked black pepper (plus maybe a bit of garlic powder). But feel free to add any other dry seasonings that you might prefer. Broil. Then, just pop the baking sheet into the oven and broil for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are a bright reddish-pink. Keep a really close eye on the shrimp to be sure that they do not over- or under-cook. Also, no need to flip the shrimp halfway through, since they cook so quickly. Plus, the bottom of the pan gets nice and hot too, so the underside of the shrimp will also be nicely cooked. Serve. As soon as the shrimp are ready to go, remove the baking sheet from the oven, transfer the shrimp to a serving dish right away (or incorporate into whatever shrimp recipe you may be making), and serve warm. Voila!
