INGREDIENTS:

***Thousand Island Dip/Dressing (Yields 2-1/2 cups)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons worchestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons milk (add more or less, depending of your desired thickness)
1 boiled egg, finely chopped

***Roasting Shrimp
20 large raw shrimp/prawns, peeled (tails on)
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice

--Lemon wedges for serving

METHOD

To make the dip, whisk all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until creamy. Place into refrigerator in an airtight covered glass container, until ready to serve, and for flavors to meld.

To roast the shrimp, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with oil, and set aside.

Place prepared fresh shrimp in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Pour olive oil and lemon juice over the shrimp, and toss to coat. Place onto prepared baking sheet, and roast in oven for 5 to 6 minutes, just until the shrimp are opaque and have a slight curl; turning halfway through cooking - do not overcook. Cool shrimp and serve with a side of homemade thousand island dip and lemon wedges ~ Enjoy!
