Ingredients

• 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper over the shrimp. Toss again until the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 5

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.

Step 6

Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer, over a salad, or alongside your favorite sides.
