Oven-Baked Lemon Pepper Shrimp Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (around 200°C). Allow it to heat up completely before you start baking the shrimp.

2. Prepare the Marinade:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, olive oil, ketchup, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a smooth and well-incorporated marinade.

3. Marinate the Shrimp:
Add the cleaned shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the shrimp gently until each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Bake the Shrimp:
Spread the marinated shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, turning halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

5. Serve:
Once baked, remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool slightly. Arrange them on a platter, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired, and serve as a delicious snack or appetizer.
