Yield: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, cleaned, and deveined

• 8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 packet Good Seasons Italian All‑Natural Seasoning mix

• 1½ lemons, sliced into thin circles

• 1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes

• 1 tsp black pepper, ground

Instructions

1. Preheat oven – Set oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the butter mixture – In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.

3. Butter the dish – Pour the butter‑garlic mixture into a 9×11‑inch glass casserole dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom.

4. Add lemon slices – Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer over the butter.

5. Add shrimp – Place the cleaned shrimp on top of the lemon slices in a single layer.

6. Season – Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the shrimp. Then top with dried parsley flakes and black pepper.

7. Bake – Bake uncovered for 15 minutes (do not exceed this time, or shrimp may become tough).

8. Serve – Serve warm, spooning the lemony butter sauce over the shrimp. Great with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Tips & Variations

• Don’t overcook – Shrimp are done when pink and curled into a loose “C” shape. Overcooking makes them rubbery.

• Fresh herbs – Substitute fresh parsley for dried; add after baking for brighter flavor.

• Spicy kick – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.

• Low‑carb option – Serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.

Enjoy your quick, zesty, and buttery baked shrimp! 🍋🦐
