Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 whole Lemon (sliced into rounds, optional for garnishing)
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a single layer in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herby taste.
Optional: Arrange lemon slices decoratively over the shrimp.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the dish from the oven, and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the garlicky baked shrimp immediately with crusty bread for dipping into the buttery sauce, or pair it with rice, pasta, or a side salad.
