Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Roasted Shrimp with Thousand Island Dressing

This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe. The shrimp by themselves are delicious so if the Thousand Island Dipping Sauce doesn't sound good to you, just try the shrimp by themselves.

With 1/2 pound of shrimp at 240 calories and 1/2 Tablespoon of olive oil at 60 calories, the shrimp are right at 25% of calories from fat. Serve with a nice crusty bread to bring the fat percentage down even further - it's great for mopping up the juices. The percent of calories from fat in the Dressing depends entirely on the percent of calories from fat in your mayonnaise.

I watched the episode where she made this and she said it would serve 2 as a hearty appetizer. I make a full pound of shrimp and double everything that goes on the shrimp and serve it as dinner. The Dressing makes way more than enough as is - no doubling necessary.

Show: Barefoot Contessa Episode: Ina's Take-Out

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the dressing:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon minced capers
1 teaspoon minced gherkins
1 tablespoon sweet pickles
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the shrimp on a sheet pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Pour the olive oil and juice over the shrimp, and roast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes. {I cook it a little longer, more like 7-10 minutes.}

{In the show she mixed the shrimp, salt, pepper, oil, and lemon in a bowl, then turned it out onto a sheet pan which is much easier.}

For the dressing, place the mayonnaise, ketchup, capers, gherkins, sweet pickles, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl, and stir until blended. Serve with the roasted shrimp.
