Description

"baked shrimp"This recipe for gamberoni al forno (baked jumbo shrimp) is simple and easily expandable. It has just four ingredients, three of which you probably have in the kitchen most days.

The simple word shrimp is astoundingly confusing when you try to get into details relevant to the kitchen. Please see Shrimp.

I used colossal U12 shrimp in the photo but next time I will use 16/20.
