Notes
Sharon's Expert Tips:
As a general rule, two pounds of shrimp will serve 4-6 people as a main dish. If you are serving shrimp as an appetizer and plan to have 4-5 other appetizers, plan on 3-4 shrimp per person.
I specify extra-large shrimp (21/25) in this recipe, which means there are 21 to 25 shrimp per pound. Always buy shrimp by the number of shrimp per pound rather than the specified size such as extra-large. The number of shrimp you get when specifying jumbo, extra-large, and large vary greatly but not shrimp per pound weight.
Always use the same size shrimp in a recipe to ensure they are cooked evenly. If you mix sizes, like medium with extra-large, and cook them, the smaller shrimp likely be overdone, and the larger ones not quite done.
If I'm serving roasted shrimp in a shrimp cocktail, I leave the tails on. If I'm adding them to a salad or another dish, I remove the tails.
Shrimp are done when they change from translucent to opaque. They also cook in a matter of minutes so keep an eye on them. The second they change color remove them from the oven. Even a few seconds of extra heat means they will be tough. If they are bright pink and curled into a tight c-shape they are overdone.
