Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp
Description
Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp relies on peeled and deveined medium shrimp tossed in a sauce made from melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Baking them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit ensures the shrimp cook just right — pink, firm, and not overdone — in about 8 to 10 minutes. The garlic infuses the butter while the lemon juice adds a touch of brightness, balanced by Italian herbs and seasoning to taste.
The shrimp are arranged on a baking sheet coated with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking, and tossed gently with the garlic butter mixture to coat evenly. Garnishing with fresh chopped parsley adds a subtle herbaceous note and color contrast. This recipe presents a straightforward cooking method that avoids stovetop splatter and keeps cleanup minimal.
Serve the shrimp immediately out of the oven, making them well-suited for quick weeknight meals or as a tasty component in a larger seafood platter. They pair well with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the buttery garlic sauce.
