Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Tip: A hot oven ensures the shrimp develops a nice sear while staying tender inside.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Tip: This marinade can be made up to 2 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- 3
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp and toss gently to coat evenly. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Tip: Dry shrimp will caramelize better during roasting than wet ones.
- 4
Spread the marinated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Scatter the edamame around the shrimp.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan; give ingredients room to roast rather than steam.
- 5
Drizzle the remaining marinade over the edamame and toss lightly to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout.
Tip: Shrimp cooks quickly; check at the 12-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer the roasted shrimp and edamame to a serving platter.
Tip: Resting allows residual heat to cook the shrimp evenly without drying it out.

Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh sliced scallions. Serve immediately while warm, optionally with steamed rice or over a fresh green salad.
Tip: The sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and delightful crunch to every bite.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
