Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet or broiler-safe pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the shrimp.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp and broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
