Hooray for a short list of ingredients! I'm sure you feel that way sometimes when searching for something to cook. I have those times too. It is usually on a very busy day or when the pantry is bare. There are the times I entertain too. Preparing a spread of food for guests sure can make for a large grocery list. Roasted shrimp with chili-lime sauce can be an appetizer or a main dish served with a salad or sides. And it only has a few ingredients.
Roasting shrimp really brings out the flavor. It is the method I use most often to cook shrimp. Boiling or grilling is good for certain dishes. Boiled or steamed is best for shrimp arnean. Grilling is for when I am serving it with other grilled foods. No matter which way you cook shrimp, it is important not to cook it too long or it will be tough and/or rubbery.
The chili-lime sauce can be more or less spicy. It depends on how much chili powder you use. The recipe has ½ to 1 teaspoon and you can adjust to your taste. You could experiment and try different chili powders like ancho or a mix of other spices instead regular chili powder. The sauce base of butter and lime juice makes for a wide variety of options.

Wow! add some toothpicks & you've got a great easy appetizer! How are these cold? I'm just going to have to make these to find out!
Cheers!
I did not try them cold. I did however re-warm them a couple of days later and they were great. So they are a nice make-ahead dish too.
The chile and lime have me drooling! Gorgeous photos too!
Thanks Jen!

How did you know I love shrimp but am too lazy/eat too much starch? Although I may toss these with rice noodles because they take like 5 minutes to cook. Definitely a keeper!
Shrimp, chili and lime - doesn't get much better than that!
