Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• 1 lemon lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish or sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated with the spicy marinade.

Step 4

Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking dish, making sure they are not overlapping.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately garnish with the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.

Step 7

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, crusty bread, or a crisp side salad.
