Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly seasoned.

Step 4

Pour the BBQ sauce over the seasoned shrimp and gently stir until all the shrimp are coated in the sauce.

Step 5

Transfer the coated shrimp to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in an even single layer.

Step 6

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp for added brightness and flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Do not overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the shrimp to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the baked shrimp with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as crusty bread, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
