Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature helps to cook the shrimp quickly while giving them a nice, slightly crispy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Shrimp
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. If you’re adding red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning, include them in this step as well. Toss everything together until the shrimp are well coated.
Step 3: Arrange on a Baking Sheet
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet. Ensure that they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 4: Bake the Shrimp
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove the shrimp from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for added flavor.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
