Garlic butter sheet pan shrimp seasoned with paprika and finished with fresh lemon is one of the easiest and most flavorful weeknight dinners you can add to your regular rotation. Everything goes on a single pan, the oven handles the rest, and you get a fast, restaurant-quality shrimp dinner on the table with almost no effort and barely any cleanup.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a clean paper towel to pat the shrimp dry.
Combine the butter, garlic, paprika, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the shrimp and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the shrimp turn white and opaque.
Serve warm with parsley sprinkled over the shrimp and lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Pat the shrimp dry so they roast instead of steam and water down the sauce. Keep a close eye on the oven, as they cook quickly and can easily overcook.Serve: Spoon over rice, add to salad, or pile into warm tortillas for tacos. You can also pair them with asparagus, quinoa, or couscous, and serve with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter.Store: Once the shrimp have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
