This might be the best shrimp you’ll ever eat and the easiest you’ll ever make! The shrimp bake over sliced lemons in melted butter, making a sauce you can spoon right from the pan.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter
- 1 to 2 lemons, thinly sliced (Margi uses two)
- 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- A small pinch of black garlic salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely, then pat them dry.
- Place the butter on the lined pan and warm it in the oven just until melted. Carefully remove the pan and tilt it to spread the butter.
- Arrange the lemon slices over the melted butter. Lay the shrimp over the lemons in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the shrimp, then add black pepper and a small pinch of black garlic salt.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, checking at 10 minutes. Remove the pan as soon as the shrimp are pearly and opaque throughout. Spoon the warm lemon butter from the pan over the shrimp just before serving.
