Perfect for a quick meal or an easy appetizer, these Easy Roasted Shrimp with Sweet Peppers are packed with flavor.
Whole Foods Market asked if I’d create a summer-friendly recipe to celebrate the release of Golden State Cider‘s new Radical Paradise pineapple cider. Radical Paradise is made with whole pineapples, cinnamon sticks, piloncillo raw cane sugar, and it’s only available at Whole Foods Market stores in Northern California. NorCal gets the Giants AND pineapple cider. It’s an embarrassment of riches, really.
This easy roasted shrimp recipe is similar to my popular Oven Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic, which is a staple in our house. The sweet peppers and lemony tang are a fabulous match for the crisp, surprisingly dry Radical Paradise pineapple cider. Plus, the combination of colors is a knockout, so you can throw them on a platter for a party or BBQ and everyone will think you’re brilliant. I’m a big fan of dishes that take less than 20 minutes and are capable of blowing minds, aren’t you?
You could certainly cut this recipe in half for 1 lb of shrimp, but I wouldn’t. These are delicious chilled too, so pop the leftovers (if there are any) in the fridge and make your coworkers jealous with tomorrow’s lunch.
