Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve a nice roast on the shrimp and mushrooms.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, sliced mushrooms, minced ginger, and chopped green onions.
- Drizzle the olive oil and soy sauce over the shrimp and mushroom mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the ingredients until they are evenly coated with the oil and soy sauce.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure that the shrimp and mushrooms are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while the mushrooms will be tender and slightly caramelized.
- Halfway through the cooking time, give the mixture a gentle stir to ensure even cooking and roasting.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve the roasted shrimp and mushrooms warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
Tips
- Use large, fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor. Pat them dry before mixing to ensure perfect roasting.
- Choose mushrooms with firm caps like cremini or shiitake for the best caramelization and depth of flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give your ingredients space to roast, not steam. This ensures crispy edges and maximum flavor development.
- Watch your cooking time carefully. Shrimp cook quickly and can become rubbery if overdone. They're perfect when they turn pink and slightly curl.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before roasting.
- If you prefer a saucier dish, reserve some extra soy sauce or add a tablespoon of honey for a sweet-savory glaze.
