Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Sauce

  • 1 stick butter (½ cup)
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the shrimp.
  2. Prepare Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, paprika, lemon zest, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss thoroughly to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasonings.
  3. Melt Butter and Infuse Flavor: Slice the butter and place it into a 2-quart baking dish. Add the white wine and chopped garlic to the dish. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to melt the butter and allow the garlic to infuse the flavors.
  4. Combine and Bake: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and add the seasoned shrimp. Stir to coat the shrimp evenly with the melted butter, wine, and garlic mixture. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the shrimp is fully cooked, opaque, and tender.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately after baking for optimal tenderness.
  • White wine can be substituted with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to prevent rubbery texture.
