1/3 cup olive oil
Juice of one lemon

1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika

Carefully loosen the shrimp bodies from their shells without disconnecting at the tail. Return shrimp to the shell and place in a bowl. Combine olive oil, lemon and lime juice in another bowl. Add remaining ingredients to the oil and stir to combine. Pour over shrimp. Coat the shrimp with the marinade. Place in refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat oven to 200 C. Remove shrimp from marinade; discard liquid. Arrange in one layer in baking pan. Roast shrimp in oven until the shells brighten in color, and the shrimp are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve with rice or toss with linguine.
