  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

How to Make Baked Shrimp:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.

Notes:

Shrimp selection: Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to properly thaw them before marinating.

Marinating time: While the recipe suggests marinating the shrimp for about 15 minutes, you can extend the marinating time up to 30 minutes for more flavor absorption. Avoid marinating for too long as the acidity in the lemon juice can start to cook the shrimp, resulting in a tougher texture.

Seasoning variations: Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings or spices to customize the flavor of your baked shrimp. For example, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, or sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy crust.


Doneness of shrimp: Keep a close eye on the shrimp while baking to avoid overcooking. Shrimp cook quickly, and overcooked shrimp can become rubbery and lose their tenderness. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque when fully cooked.


Serving suggestions: Baked shrimp can be served as a standalone appetizer or as part of a main course. You can serve them with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Additionally, consider serving the shrimp over a bed of rice or pasta, alongside a fresh salad, or as a filling for tacos or wraps.


Fresh herbs: Fresh parsley is used in this recipe for garnish, but you can use other herbs like cilantro, basil, or dill for added freshness and aroma. Sprinkle the herbs over the shrimp just before serving.


Cooking time variations: The suggested baking time in the recipe is a general guideline. Depending on the size and thickness of your shrimp, they may cook slightly faster or slower. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through but not overdone.
