Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lemon wedges

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Medium bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine.
  3. Place the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and arrange them in a single layer.
  4. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. For a crispier finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Notes

Use a large, rimmed baking sheet that is at least 1 inch deep to ensure even cooking and prevent the sauce from overflowing. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold running water or overnight in the refrigerator; never use warm water. For crispier shrimp, use the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking, but monitor them closely as they cook quickly.
