(The salt should totally cover the shrimp). Roast the shrimp for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and dig the shrimp out from under the salt. Using salt clinging to the shells.

Makes 4 servings

In this recipe whole shrimp in their shells are literally smothered in coarse kosher salt and then roasted. The salt forms a kind of crust that seals in the shrimp's juices, resulting in unbelievably moist shrimp without a trace of saltiness. (The salt is simply brushed off before serving). The shrimp can be served hot, warm, or even cold with a variety of dipping sauces. We particularly recommend Green Sauce or Aioli Sauce. Serve this dish as an appetizer or as an entree with a rice dish, roasted red peppers, and a green vegetables.
