Roasted Shrimp and Lemon-Honey Dipping Sauce –

September 2, 2021

Roasted shrimp and dipping sauce is a timeless combination, and it’s fun to spice things up with some new flavors. It’s also easy to make and tastes great. This shrimp and dipping sauce recipe has a little kick of garlic and a little kick of lemon. It’s also sweet, so you can douse it with some Tabasco or honey and some lemon.

After a long day at work, nothing tastes better than a fresh, juicy, and delicious shrimp. The best part is that it doesn’t have to take a lot of time to make. This recipe only takes a few minutes to take from start to finish, and you can have it ready in no time.

I’ve been making and eating the same simple and delicious roasted shrimp recipe for years and it never gets old. This week I tried a new version of this recipe and I added a little lemon and honey to the mix, which turned out to be a great idea. The lemon and honey went well with the shrimp and the sauce itself was so good I could eat it with a spoon.. Read more about lemon garlic shrimp and let us know what you think.

Note

This Roasted Shrimp appetizer was originally featured in Cooking Light Magazine many years ago.

Although I’ve lost track of the pages, I was able to locate the Roasted Shrimp dish on MyRecipes.com. The internet is fantastic! My grocery shop had shell-on, deveined giant shrimp, which worked well. There’s no need to clean anything else! If you need to devein your shrimp at home, just cut the shell with scissors, leaving the vein out, and discard. YouTube also has several useful videos!

Enjoy! —

Directions

Step 1
Fill a big cast iron pan halfway with salt. Make a uniform layer out of it. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat the salt for around 30 minutes.

Place the shrimp in a single layer on top of the heated salt.

Return to the oven for a further 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.
Step 2
While the shrimp is cooking, combine the other ingredients in a mixing bowl and serve with the shrimp for dipping.

This is my favorite way to cook shrimp. If you like the shrimp-lemon combo, this would be a great recipe to try. You can cook it like a pasta dish. You can make it like a salad. It also works really well for appetizers.. Read more about sweet chili shrimp marinade and let us know what you think.
