simple roasted shrimp

last night we had to stay late at work, and when we got home we were exhausted and hungry.  since neither one of us felt like spending a lot of time cooking in the kitchen, we decided to make simple roasted shrimp for dinner.  it was both quick and delicious, and a perfect companion to our parmesan risotto!
