Ingredients

• 1 lb Raw large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-on)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Prepared horseradish
• 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 tsp Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the peeled and deveined shrimp on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly.

Step 4

Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, firm, and opaque.

Step 6

While the shrimp are roasting, prepare the cocktail sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Taste the cocktail sauce and adjust the seasoning, if necessary (add more horseradish for heat or lemon juice for acidity).

Step 8

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Serve the roasted shrimp warm or at room temperature with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
