Roasted Shrimp with Stir Fried Vegetables

For Shrimp:

2 lb. bag raw frozen P&D Shrimp Kirkland Brand, Costco (Note: Or from the fish counter @ market of choice)

Olive Oil

Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

4 Cloves Garlic, minced

Optional: Red Pepper flakes

Defrost shrimp in refrigerator overnight or in colander with cold running water.

Pat shrimp dry with paper towel.

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. (For easy clean-up!)

Place shrimp in a pile on cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with minced garlic, sea salt and pepper.

Optional: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Mix together

Spread out in single layer on cookie sheet. No overlapping.

Roast in 400 degree oven for 7 minutes.
