Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 lemon lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish or sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated with the spicy marinade.
Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking dish, making sure they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately garnish with the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, crusty bread, or a crisp side salad.
