Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds Large shrimp
  • 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 large Lemon { zested, juice ½ part of the lemon, quarter and thinly slice the other half} reserve the zest
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons Lemon zest, lightly packed

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  2. Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add all the lemons (juice and flesh, except the zest), garlic, salt, chilli flakes, ground pepper, parsley and olive oil. Toss to combine until the shrimps are coated thoroughly. Transfer into the baking dish and arrange in a single layer.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until pink and opaque. Once baked, scatter the combined parsley and lemon zest. Transfer the cooked shrimp into the platter and spoon the accumulated juices on top.

Notes

Don't over bake or it will be rubbery.
