Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 16 servings as part of buffet

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 pounds uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled with tails left intact, deveined
3 red bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch triangles
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika*
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup dry Sherry

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spray two 13x9x2-inch metal baking pans with nonstick spray. Mix shrimp, peppers, oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne in large bowl to coat. Divide mixture between prepared pans, arranging shrimp in single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roast shrimp 10 minutes. Turn shrimp; sprinkle with oregano. Roast until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 7 minutes longer. Transfer shrimp and peppers to platter. Place pans over 2 burners on medium heat. Add half of Sherry to each; boil until reduced by half, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Drizzle over shrimp and serve warm or at room temperature.
