Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Thaw shrimp overnight in the refrigerator Drain shrimp well in a colander placed in the sink, then put a paper towel on a cutting board and spread the shrimp out in a single layer.

Put the shrimp into a plastic bowl and toss with the olive oil-spice mixture. Spread shrimp out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
