Print Recipe

Sometimes the simplest meals bring back the warmest memories. This easy shrimp recipe reminds me of summer evenings by the sea with my grandkids—laughter in the air and buttery garlic goodness on our plates. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, flavor-packed dinner, this one’s a keeper. Only 5 ingredients and one pan… what’s not to love?

Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (add more to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1½ pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or use nonstick spray.

  • In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

  • Spread shrimp in a single layer on the sheet pan. Pour over the butter mix and toss gently to coat.

  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, until shrimp are pink, firm, and cooked through.

  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp if you can—it brings out the natural sweetness and gives the best texture. But frozen works too, just make sure it’s fully thawed and patted dry.

  • Adjust the garlic to your liking. Love garlic? Add an extra clove or two!

  • Add veggies like asparagus, cherry tomatoes, or thin-sliced zucchini right on the same pan for a full meal in one go.

  • Want it spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mix for a little kick.

  • Leftovers? Toss them into a salad or pasta the next day—so tasty and no waste!
