Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper over the shrimp. Toss again until the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer, over a salad, or alongside your favorite sides.
