Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Once the shrimp has been peeled and cleaned, rinse it under cold water.  Be sure to pat the shrimp really dry (if the shrimp is not dry it will steam rather than roast!).

4. Place shrimp in another bowl with the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.

6. Squeeze the four lemon quarters over the shrimp and beans and serve immediately.
