Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 2 lbs peeled and deveined large shrimp
  • 3/4 cup basil
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp tarragon leaves
  • 4 green onions, roughly chopped

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add shrimp to a large baking sheet. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with two teaspoons of salt and a little freshly cracked black pepper. Roast until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes depending on size. Shrimp are cooked through when pink and curled into a letter C. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!!

Season to taste with salt and pepper.
