– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, and salt and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.
3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for 10-15 minutes; if you have time, you can refrigerate them for 30 minutes for a more in-depth flavor.
4. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, or until they are pink, firm, and cooked through.
6. Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley.
7. Serve your Best Ever Party Shrimp hot or at room temperature, and watch as your guests delight in this irresistible party favorite!
