Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced fine
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced and zested

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the shrimp thoroughly with paper towels to remove all surface moisture. In a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes until emulsified.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowding.
  6. Roast for 6–8 minutes, removing them as soon as they turn opaque and curl into a 'C' shape.
  7. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley while the shrimp are still sizzling.
