  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Notes

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet that is deep enough to contain the sauce and allow the shrimp to cook evenly in a single layer. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water; never use warm water. For extra crispiness, use the broiler for the final 2 minutes of cooking, but monitor the shrimp closely as they cook quickly.
