Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with melted butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly in the mixture.

      Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the shrimp mixture to a baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.

        Roast Shrimp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

          Add Lemon Juice: Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. Give it a quick toss to combine.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh flair. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
