Description

This Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe offers a quick and flavorful seafood dish perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings. Juicy jumbo shrimp are roasted to perfection with olive oil, garlic, and seasoning, then finished with a generous amount of melted butter and fresh parsley. Served alongside lemon wedges, this easy one-pan recipe delivers tender, buttery shrimp with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds extra large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced

Finishing Touches

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch freshly chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position an oven rack in the middle of the oven to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and minced garlic evenly over the shrimp. Toss gently to coat all shrimp thoroughly with the oil and seasonings.
  3. Roast the shrimp: Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
  4. Add butter and toss: Immediately after removing the shrimp from the oven, add the softened unsalted butter directly on the hot baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to stir the shrimp and butter together until the butter melts completely and coats the shrimp in a delicious garlic butter sauce.
  5. Serve: Transfer the shrimp and butter sauce to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side to brighten the flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh parsley with other fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for a different flavor twist.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace butter with a vegan butter or additional olive oil.
  • Make sure your shrimp are dry before seasoning to help them roast properly and develop flavor.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and will become rubbery if left in the oven too long.
  • Serve with crusty bread, rice, or pasta to make it a complete meal.
