Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to form a marinade.
Add the raw shrimp to the bowl with the marinade, and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated.
Transfer the shrimp to a baking dish or sheet pan, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately, either on their own or over a bed of rice, quinoa, or mixed greens.
