Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp
Description
This recipe uses peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp tossed in melted butter mixed with minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and half the parsley. The coated shrimp are spread on a baking sheet and baked at 400°F until they turn pink, about eight minutes. The quick baking method ensures they remain tender and juicy without drying out.
The garlic butter gives a rich, savory flavor with a gentle smoky warmth from the paprika balanced by citrus brightness. The fresh parsley adds a mild herbal note and color contrast. These shrimp can be plated with the lemon garlic butter sauce, making them suitable for low-carb or grain-free meals when paired with alternatives like cauliflower rice or vegetable noodles.
Leftovers can be stored briefly in the refrigerator or frozen, allowing for convenient make-ahead portions. The recipe keeps preparation simple while delivering a focused flavor profile from the key ingredients and technique.
