Oven Baked Shrimp

This is one of my absolute favourite things to make, it is super easy and quick!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of frozen uncooked shrimp (70-100 shrimp)
• Mrs. Dash
• Sea salt
• Black Pepper
• Organic Garlic Powder
• Cayenne Pepper or Chilli Flakes (optional)
• Worchester Sauce
• Organic, unrefined Coconut Oil

Materials:

• 1 large baking tray or 2 small glass dishes (pie dishes)
• Wax Paper
• Foil

Method:

1. Remove the frozen shrimp from the packaging and place into a stainless steel bowl. Let them defrost. 
2. Once they are defrosted remove the tails. 
3. Once all the tails are removed, wash the shrimp thoroughly with some water. Once the shrimp is washed you can start the seasoning process. 
4. Add organic garlic powder, Mrs. Dash, a sprinkle of sea salt, a sprinkle of black pepper and chilli flakes/ cayenne pepper (amount depends on your spicy/pepper tolerance) and a splash of Worcester sauce. Mix well
5. Let sit for about 5/10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
6. Spread some coconut oil in the bottom of the tray or glass dishes. I usually put a blob of coconut oil and then use my hands to spread it around the dish. Remove any excess.
7. Lay the seasoned shrimp on the tray/glass dishes. Lay each shrimp flat on the tray/dish. 
8. Cover the tray or each dish with wax paper and then foil. 
9. Bake for 20 mins. After the 15 mins flip each shrimp.
10. Turn off oven and let the shrimp sit in the oven for 3 minutes. This give it some extra colour. 
11. Remove from oven and enjoy! 

Meal Planning TIPS:

One bag of frozen shrimp will make enough servings for two people for a week (4 meals). What I usually do it is after its cools I portion out the servings so its just grab and go. A favourite of ours to make is shrimp salads. Each portion of shrimp is 1 red container (if you use the portion system) or 3/4 cup.

So we prepare our salads ahead of time as well. I typically do 2 green containers of veggies (if you use the portion fix system) or 2 cups of veggies.

The example below is spring medley and julienne/matchstick carrots.

Simple and Delicious!
