Garlic-Powder Roasted Shrimp with Barbecued Black Tea Seasonings
Ingredients:
- 6g barbecued black tea seasonings
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
Season the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine the barbecued black tea seasonings, minced garlic, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning blend.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Let the shrimp sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Roast the Shrimp:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough quickly.
Finish and Serve:
- Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Tips for Success:
- Seasoning: The barbecued black tea seasonings add a unique, smoky flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the shrimp. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference.
- Garlic Powder: Using both fresh garlic and garlic powder enhances the garlic flavor without overpowering the dish.
- Roasting Time: Shrimp cook quickly, so keep an eye on them to ensure they remain tender and juicy. Overcooking can make them tough.
- Garnish: Fresh parsley and lemon wedges add a bright, refreshing touch, balancing the richness of the seasonings.
