Baked Shrimp
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined (tails intact)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp teriyaki or soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp seafood seasoning i.e. Old Bay or Seafood Magic
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 medium cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley and lemon wedges for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl combine the olive oil, lemon juice, teriyaki or soy sauce, honey, seafood seasoning, salt and garlic. Add 1/2 (1 Tbsp) fresh parsley. Stir well to combine.
- To the bowl, add the shrimp. Top with paprika and stir well until shrimps are evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the shrimp to the prepared baking dish arranging them in a single layer. Pour any remaining marinade over the shrimp.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the oven.
- Serve immediately garnished with reserved parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
