Roasted Shrimp with Thyme
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

Roasted Shrimp with Thyme
from The Herbfarm Cookbook by Jerry Traunfeld
3/4 pound shrimp
1 1/2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 TBSP coarsely chopped fresh marjoram
dash of finely chopped lemon zest
1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Put the shrimp in a mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and toss to coat them evenly. Lay the shrimp split side up in a single layer on a baking sheet. (At this point, the shrimp can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 hours.) Roast until the flesh is no longer translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
Notes: The original recipe featured marjoram, but one of the variations listed was thyme, which I had on hand and therefore used. Also, the cookbook calls for fresh shrimp in the shell but I used precooked for the convenience factor. I served it over linguine tosed with a little olive oil and butter and it was excellent. The best part was how simple it was to make.

Many people do have the notice that they've been officially dumped by their particular insurance company they then have to struggle to get more insurance after having a cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates are often hard to get following a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons concerning the auto insurance cancelling can help individuals prevent losing one of the most vital privileges accessible. Thanks for the tips shared via your blog.
