First attempt at shrimp... a seemingly daunting task. Shrimp are actually quite easy to prepare, but you just have to be cautious not to overcook these little crustaceans. Perhaps the most simple and one of the most flavorful methods is to roast shrimp...a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of garlic, and 8 minutes in a hot oven. Pair with roasted parmesan-crusted tomatoes for a savory, summery supper!

Ingredients
*12-15 peeled and deveined shrimp (thawed, if frozen)

Parmesan-crusted Tomatoes
