Equipment

Large Bowl
Baking sheet
Measuring spoons and cups
Garlic press (optional)

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the marinade.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Dot the shrimp evenly with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra zing.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the shrimp marinate for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator before baking.

If you prefer a little more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking.

This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad to keep it keto-friendly.
