Step 1

Preheat the broiler on your oven.  Arrange the baking rack about 5 inches away from the top heating element.

Step 2

Place shrimp in a large mixing bowl, and pat dry with paper towels.  Add oil and toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.

Step 3

Transfer the shrimp to a large baking sheet, and arrange in an even layer.  (Be sure that the shrimp do not overlap.)  Season generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Step 4

Broil for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are bright reddish-pink and opaque.  Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 5

Serve warm.  Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
