Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt butter on low to medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. When butter has melted, add olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; zest one of the lemons directly into the mixture.
Cut the zested lemon into slices and place them in an ovenproof 10x13 baking dish, then arrange shrimp on top of the lemon slices, making sure only the tails overlap. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp evenly; sprinkle with sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Roast 8-10 minutes until shrimp are firm and not opaque. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
** If making them ahead, follow the recipe until the roasting, cover the dish and refrigerate until ready, roast right before serving.
