If you’re looking for a quick and elegant dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor, this baked shrimp recipe is a weeknight lifesaver. Juicy, tender shrimp tossed in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of spices — then baked to perfection in under 15 minutes. It’s light, fresh, and full of Mediterranean-inspired flavor, perfect on its own or served over rice, pasta, or a crisp green salad.

What makes this recipe shine is its simplicity. There’s no need for complicated steps or heavy sauces — just a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. The shrimp soak up the garlic-lemon marinade beautifully, while baking keeps them juicy without overcooking. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a subtle heat, and finishing with fresh parsley or a dusting of Parmesan takes the dish to the next level.

This is the kind of recipe that works for just about any occasion — a lazy Tuesday night, a last-minute dinner with friends, or even a holiday appetizer when you're short on time. Plus, it's naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and packed with protein. Pair it with roasted vegetables, a glass of chilled white wine, and you've got a meal that feels fancy without the fuss.
