Sheet Pan Mediterranean Shrimp

 I chose frozen  Argentinian Shrimp found in my local market.  Make sure it is the 16-20 count.  It took some prep, but after the prep I chose to relax for a few hours, and threw it all together easily.  It serves 4.  I'll use leftovers over pasta.  This recipe was one I will use in my Monthy rotation, it was exceptional in my opinion.
