Oven-Baked Garlic Butter Shrimp Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F. Allow it to preheat for about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking throughout the dish.

2. Prepare the Shrimp
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss well to ensure every shrimp is evenly coated with the mixture.

3. Bake the Shrimp
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- Place the shrimp in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

4. Broil for Added Flavor
- For an extra burst of flavor and a slight crispy finish, switch the oven setting to broil. Broil the shrimp for an additional 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid overcooking.

5. Garnish and Serve
- Once done, remove the shrimp from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired.
- Serve immediately for the best taste experience.
