Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
Add the minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly seasoned.
Pour the BBQ sauce over the seasoned shrimp and gently stir until all the shrimp are coated in the sauce.
Transfer the coated shrimp to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in an even single layer.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp for added brightness and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Do not overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the shrimp to rest for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the baked shrimp with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as crusty bread, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
