Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Transfer the marinated shrimp to the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
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 garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or over a bed of rice, pasta, or salad for a main course. Enjoy!
