Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Sweet pickle relish
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 3

Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.

Step 4

Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the shrimp cooks, prepare the Thousand Island dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, and hot sauce until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the roasted shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 7

Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature with the Thousand Island dressing on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
