Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Butter
1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
Shrimp
1 pound, peeled and deveined

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. In a greased baking dish, arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Gently toss the shrimp if needed to distribute the sauce evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through, opaque, and have curled into a 'C' shape. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in the butter mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
  • 💡 Serve with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • 💡 Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus for a more colorful dish.
