Return to the oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the veggies are tender.

Notes
- Veggies: The amounts of veggies listed here are suggestions to get you started - there's no need to be super precise, and feel free to leave out some, include more of others, etc.
- Size of Shrimp: You can also use any size shrimp that you have or like. Just keep in mind that larger shrimp will take a bit longer to cook.
- Tomatoes: If you prefer your tomatoes to be extra tender and almost saucy, you can add them in during the first step with the other veggies so they roast longer. This is actually the way this recipe is photographed, but I've since decided I prefer them with the shorter roasting time.
- Frozen Shrimp: To quickly thaw, place frozen shrimp in a large colander, place in the sink, and run them under cold water for about 5 minutes. Why cold water? Shrimp are so easy to cook that hot water can start doing so prematurely! You also can defrost shrimp in the refrigerator overnight or during the day. They are truly so easy to defrost right before cooking, though. The perfect protein to keep in the freezer for last-minute meals!
- Shrimp Tails: Removing shrimp tails prior to cooking is completely optional. I often leave them on for looks only, because it's honestly easier to eat shrimp when the tails are already removed. If you want to encourage kids or other picky eaters to dig in, take off the tails to remove a barrier to dinner consumption. 🙂 You can toss the tails or freeze them in a tightly-sealed zip-top bag to use in shrimp stock.
- Storage/Reheating: I love having extras of this! I usually eat salads for lunch, but this is just as healthy. Store individual portions or a larger amount in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, then reheat on 50% power in the microwave until warmed through. These are our favorite containers!
