3-Ingredient Oven Baked Shrimp Using Frozen Raw Shrimp

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the thawed shrimp with the melted butter (or oil) and the juice of half a lemon. If you like, add a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Arrange: Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet. Tuck fresh lemon slices between the shrimp to infuse more citrus aroma during baking.

4. Bake: Roast for 8–10 minutes. The shrimp are done when they are pink, opaque, and have curled into a “C” shape.

5. Finish: Remove from the oven and immediately top with fresh lemon zest and chopped parsley for that professional look shown in your image.
