Baked Shrimp

Garlicky, buttery, tender shrimp, baked in the oven and ready in about 15 minutes! It doesn’t get better than that. Perfect over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, this baked shrimp recipe is classic and easy but loaded with flavor.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

• This lemony, buttery shrimp dish is absolutely packed full of flavor from cheesy parmesan, fresh parsley, and a little heat from crushed red pepper flakes. With an optional dash of white wine, it’s the perfect dinner.
• Made in just about 15 minutes, this recipe is perfect for whipping up on a weekday night, yet tasty enough to serve for a weekend dinner.
• This recipe is made with easy to find, inexpensive ingredients (you probably already have most of them!), so there’s no need to splurge for a delicious dish.

How To Make It

Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

In a baking dish, place the shrimp in a single layer, then pour the butter mixture over them and sprinkle with parmesan.

Bake until the shrink have cooked through and turned pink.

Chef’s Tips

• This baked shrimp recipe is absolutely delicious on its own, but try it over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, cauliflower rice, or even Palmini pasta. Make sure to pour lots of the butter sauce on top!
• You can use any size or type of shrimp for this recipe. I typically buy shrimp that have already been peeled and deveined for convenience, but you certainly don’t have to! To peel a shrimp, start underneath (where the legs are). You can leave the tail on for looks or remove it, up to you. To devein, make a shallow slice in the shrimp over the black vein. Remove the vein gently with your knife and discard.
• Don’t want to use white wine? No problem! Sub it with extra lemon juice or some chicken stock.
