One Pan Oven Baked Shrimp
When it comes to summer cooking, I usually despise making anything that requires me to turn on the oven and heat up the house. This One Pan Oven Baked Shrimp is my exception to the rules.
One reason I will let slide the “no oven summer cooking” rule for this dish is:
- It only dirties one sheet pan!
- The shrimp cook in about 20 minutes!
- It is light, refreshing, and slightly spicy!
For this recipe, I use deveined shrimp, but keep the shell on!
Let me tell y’all.
Keeping the shell on for the baking is a game changer!
Now I love (and cook) with almost any kind of shrimp.
But keeping the shells on while the shrimp bake in butter goodness, helps to ensure the shrimp stay tender, juicy, and oh so flavorful!
The sauce that the shrimp bakes in is so easy.
Melted butter, lemon juice, parsley, and a handful of seasonings is all you need!
Place the shrimp on a baking sheet, pour on the flavored butter, toss to coat, and then roast in the oven for about 20 minutes.
After the shrimp have cooked, place onto a deep sided plate.
Make sure to pour any remaining butter from the pan over the shrimp.
Serve along with a side salad and crusty bread.
As you eat the shrimp don’t forget to “dunk” the bread in the remaining butter sauce for a simple and delicious summer meal.

I don’t eat seafood however, my other half wanted me to bake his shrimp and I came across this recipe. THANK YOU! I got rave reviews and was told you need to keep this recipe. So THANK YOU. Great flavor.
Brenda, thank you so much for the sweet review! I’m so happy you and your other half enjoyed this recipe and it is a keeper.
I have 2lbs for shrimp can I just double the recipe?
Do it! You won’t be disappointed…. actually I’m jealous of your dinner! Invite me please! 🙂
I made this and it was wonderful. I switched out the hot sauce and used the South African Spice Berbere and a mix of lemon and lime it was very flavorful!!
So happy you enjoyed it, Jim.
Tried to put in a pic but it won’t let me! Loves the dish!!
