Lemon Pepper Shrimp Recipe

Step-by-Step Instructions

• STEP 1.Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. Toss them with lemon juice, zest, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let them marinate for 5 minutes for maximum flavor.

• STEP 1.Heat butter or olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. If using an air fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes, shaking halfway. For baking, arrange on a parchment-lined tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

• STEP 2.Remove shrimp from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with extra lemon wedges for a citrusy boost. Enjoy hot with rice, pasta, tacos, or as a protein-packed salad topper.
