Roasted Shrimp With Rosemary and Lemon image

Shrimp is now the most popular seafood in America, and this bright and fragrant treatment couldn't be simpler. Just scatter several rosemary branches onto a sheet pan and top with shrimp. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil then roast until the shrimp are peachy pink all over. For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done. Certainly they're ready once they're pink, though very large shrimp may need an extra minute to cook through. To check, slice one in half; if it's opaque, or even nearly so, season to taste and start eating.
