room temperature for a spicy appetizer.

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound large shrimp (16 to 20), shelled, deveined, tails intact

2.Preheat oven to 500°F. Remove shrimp from refrigerator and place on a lightly greased baking sheet in a single layer. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes before cooking.

3.Bake 3 to 5 minutes, until shrimp are pink, curled and opaque throughout. Serve hot or at room temperature.
