Lemon butter baked shrimp is a simple and delicious dish that features tender shrimp baked in a flavorful lemon butter sauce. This dish is quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
To make lemon butter baked shrimp, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Place peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the lemon butter sauce over the shrimp, making sure they are evenly coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the lemon butter baked shrimp hot, with crusty bread or over pasta, rice, or salad.
This dish is bursting with flavor from the tangy lemon juice, fragrant garlic, and rich butter. It’s a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even as a topping for salads or pasta. Enjoy!
