Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the shrimp: If you’re using frozen shrimp, thaw them in cold water for about 15-20 minutes, then pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish or on a baking sheet.
3. Make the garlic butter sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until combined.
4. Coat the shrimp: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp, making sure they’re evenly coated. If you like, sprinkle a few red pepper flakes over the shrimp for some extra heat.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Depending on the size of your shrimp, cooking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them.
6. Garnish and serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.

Serving Suggestions:
