A delightful and easy-to-make shrimp dish with a zesty garlic lemon flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
Use your hands or a spatula to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the shrimp mixture to a baking dish and arrange them in a single layer.
A single layer ensures even cooking for all the shrimp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Keep an eye on the shrimp to avoid overcooking, as they cook quickly.
Remove from the oven and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Adding lemon juice after baking preserves its fresh and tangy flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
