How to bake shrimp, seasonings, how long & what temperature?

Answer 1

You want to almost broil them.

Heat oven to 450ºF. Combine your de-headed shrimp, butter, garlic, herbs, S&P, lemon slices, a bay leaf or two, whatever, and lay in shallow baking dish. Then put in a high rack in your oven, fairly near the broiler element. Stir after 5 minutes, turning shrimp over at this time. The firs tside should be pinky/peachy/"shrimpy" color. Another 5 or so minutes should do it. Serve w/ fresh French bread for sopping the yummy juices!

Answer 3

hmm.... shrimp are delicious at 175 degrees and rubbery at 185 degrees, if i were going to bake shrimp i would bake them on skewers with salt pepper and a light toss of oil on a rack over a sheet pan and broil them for two min or so on one side and one min on the other... grilling or poaching are better for the little guys.
i like them poached in thai yellow curry over rice
