1. Preheat the oven — Set your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. It’s going to get buttery in there, so don’t forget to prep.
2. Make the buttery magic — In a small bowl, mix the melted Garlic Better Butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you’re into that extra heat). Stir it up and let those flavors come together.
3. Prep the shrimp — Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re all nice and cozy but not overcrowded. We want each shrimp to get its fair share of that buttery goodness.
4. Butter them up — Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp, making sure each one is coated in that luscious sauce. Don’t hold back, folks.
5. Bake it to perfection — Pop the sheet pan into the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Keep an eye on them—overcooking is a rookie move. You want tender, juicy shrimp, not rubbery ones.
6. Garnish and serve — Once they’re cooked, take the pan out of the oven, and sprinkle the shrimp with freshly chopped parsley. Boom, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
7. Serve it up hot — Serve the Buttery Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi with lemon wedges on the side for that perfect squeeze of freshness. You can eat them on their own or serve them over pasta, rice, or with some crusty bread to soak up all that buttery sauce.
This Buttery Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi is a meal you’ll come back to again and again. Simple, fast, and bursting with flavor. Enjoy every juicy bite!
