Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well blended.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet or broiler-safe pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the shrimp.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp and broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
