Why Make This

  • Quick & easy: this baked shrimp recipe includes three main ingredients and comes together in about 15 minutes.
  • Homemade Lemon Butter: my homemade lemon butter is perfect for seafood dishes (check out my baked salmon too!). It uses just a few ingredients, but adds a lot of lemon and garlic flavor to this dish

Ingredients Needed

  • Shrimp: I use raw jumbo shrimp. They are 16-20 or 13-15 per lb. I tend to keep the tail-on, but ensure that they are deveined and peeled.
  • Cajun seasoning: I use my homemade seasoning since I have it on hand, but you can also use another seafood seasoning like Old Bay.  
  • Lemon garlic butter sauce: this easy sauce comes together in a saucepan in less than 5 minutes with simple ingredients.

How to Oven Bake Shrimp

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the shrimp to a bowl with the seasoning. Toss to distribute evenly.
  2. Add the shrimp to a broiler safe dish.
  3. Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the shrimp.
  4. Bake uncovered. Then, turn the broiler on low and broil to cook the shrimp through and give it some color.

Top Tips & FAQs

  • Look at the shrimp’s color and shape to not overcook: Shrimp doesn’t take long to cook. Check to see if your shrimp is cooked by ensuring that the shrimp has an opaque bright orange color. The shrimp will also have an open “C” shape instead of being tightly curled.
  • Broil on low for color: Since shrimp cooks quickly, the broiler is a helpful tool for giving it a browned color without overcooking it. Be sure to use low and check the color and shape of your shrimp to not overcook it.
What temperature do you cook shrimp at?

I cook my shrimp at 400 degrees in the oven.

How do you know when baked shrimp are done?

You can easily check to see if your baked shrimp is done by looking the shrimp’s color and shape. Cooked shrimp have an opaque bright orange color. They should also have a open “C” shape and not be tightly curled.

Can I bake frozen shrimp?

I have not tried to bake frozen shrimp. But, since, I’ve air fried frozen shrimp, I’m certain that you can bake it too! Simply, adjust the cook time to give the shrimp a few extra minutes to thaw while it’s baking.

Is it ok to cook frozen shrimp without thawing?

Yes. I air fry frozen shrimp often and it turns out great.
