1/2 cup unsalted butter (equal to 1 stick) melted
3 thinly sliced bright lemons 1 packet (0.7 oz.) of your preferred Italian seasoning
How to Get to Culinary Heaven:
To begin, preheat your oven to 350o F. Meanwhile, prepare your baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier afterwards.
Next, arrange the lemon slices in a uniform layer on your prepared baking sheet, followed by the shrimp.
It’s time to add the delectable melted butter. Pour it over the shrimp, making sure to cover all of them.
Sprinkle the Italian spice all over your shrimp to get that delicious Italian rural sensation.
Place your baking sheet in the oven once everything is ready. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn a lovely shade of pink and become opaque.
And there you have it: a divine, quick, and delicious supper.
