I thought of washing it in hot water, too, however, that might wash out some of the color. Drying it in a hot dryer should do the trick.

Wash it in hot water. If that's not enough, wet it again and dry it in a hot dryer.

RE: Shrinking Clothing
Be careful about shrinking t-shirts. Depending on how they're built, they could very well twist.
If they are a tube construction with no side seams they will almost certainly twist. If they have side seams and the weave on the front and back panel is in the same direction then they will twist a bit. If the front and back panels have the weave in opposite directions then they will still deform a little, but not as much. (07/13/2008)

Washing with salt (about a half a container) will also help shrink. (07/13/2008)
