Easy Shrimp Recipe
Lemon Garlic Shrimp is the perfect dish to serve if you are in a rush but wanting an impressive and tasty main dish! Seriously, there are not many dishes that are this easy to make!
There are also a few other other quick short cuts that I take when making this easy lemon garlic shrimp.
I like to use jarred minced garlic but if you want to use fresh garlic and mince it yourself using a garlic press you totally can, you will need 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic. If you want a stronger garlic flavor you can add more garlic, if you like a lighter garlic flavor you can use less garlic.
You can buy shrimp at the grocery store that is already deveined, that is what I buy because I have no desire to spend time deveining shrimp. You can grab the frozen shrimp and let it thaw or you can use fresh shrimp. If I am using frozen shrimp then I take it out of the freezer the night before, let it thaw in the fridge and then just peel it and get started making dinner.
When I am making Lemon Garlic Shrimp for a dinner get together I leave the tails on for presentation. I think they look better when serving to guests. But feel free to take them off when you are making this baked Lemon Garlic Shrimp for a family dinner, I take them off so I don’t have to mess with them when I am eating.
