Garlic Butter Baked Shrimp with Corn

Ingredients:

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried parsley)

2–4 ears of corn, halved or cut into chunks

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Shrimp & Corn:
Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a large baking dish or foil tray. Add corn pieces around the edges.

3. Make Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

4. Pour & Toss:
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and corn. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

5. Bake:
Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through. (Don’t overcook—shrimp cook fast!)

6. Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.

Perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight seafood fix! 🧄🍤🌽
