Looking for the perfect holiday appetizer that comes together in a snap? Succulent roasted shrimp artfully arranged beside a bowl of fiery cocktail sauce.  If you’ve never roasted shrimp before, I would highly suggest that you to give it a try.  Simply dressed in olive oil, salt and pepper, raw shrimp scatter about a parchment-lined baking sheet unsuspectedly enter a blistering hot oven.  Mere moments later, the shrimp reemerge tender and blushing with just a kiss of caramelization.  You’ll never boil shrimp again.

The best part about putting out a shrimp platter is that it can all be done ahead of time. This Roasted Shrimp Cocktail is awesome served at room temperature, or even when the shrimp are still warm. But we all need to get stuff done and out of the way for holiday entertaining so make these shrimp ahead and keep them in the fridge to chill until your guests arrive. Anything I can make before hand for a party, I do.
