Baked Shrimp – juicy, delicious shrimp dinner with a delightful crunch that comes ready from start to finish in just 25 minutes. Savory, garlicky, lemony, buttery and a bit spicy – all of these wonderful flavors you’ll get in just a pan!

Baked Shrimp

Words can’t best describe how mighty TASTY this one-pan shrimp dinner here. It taste like a fancy restaurant dish but it’s made at home instead PLUS it comes ready all in all in just less than 30 minutes! And if you’re a busy mom like me, that’s a major win already!!

Easy Crispy Baked Shrimp Ingredients

What I do like about this Baked Shrimp is that it doesn’t require any fancy ingredients or whatsoever to make it lip-smacking good. You’ll basically need:

  • peeled and deveined shrimp (tails on or off; I had mine with tails for presentation purposes)
  • salt
  • butter
  • chicken stock or broth
  • garlic
  • salt-free Creole seasoning OR Italian seasoning (click the links for homemade recipes)
  • lemon juice
  • parsley
  • lemon wedges

You can simply go with the above ingredients for that garlicky buttery and lemony baked shrimp and still impress your family or guest. Or go all out by adding the following below for that nice buttery cheesy crunch which I’m sure that you’d absolutely LOVE. 

  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • parmesan cheese
  • melted butter

(P.S. Please don’t skip the crunchy topping. I do highly recommend it. 😉)

How Long to Bake Shrimp?

Place the shrimp on a single layer in the pan/skillet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (176 °C) for about 12-15 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Then don’t forget to increase the oven setting to broil and broil the shrimp for 1-2 minutes (max) to brown the top a bit.

Can I Make Baked Shrimp Ahead of Time?

As much as I love making some of my dishes in advance, this shrimp dish here is out of the conversation. I seriously wouldn’t want you to make it ahead of time and somehow dig in to some rubbery shrimp for dinner. Baked shrimp is best enjoyed straight off the oven.

Can I Use This Recipe with Fish Instead of Shrimps?

Yes, you sure can. You may sub shrimps with salmon, cod or tilapia fillets and adjust the cooking temperature depending on the thickness of your fish. You can check out my Baked Cod recipe as a reference.

What to Serve with Baked Shrimp?

While you’re waiting as it gets cooked in the oven, you can slice up some crusty bread to mop up that lemony garlicky sauce or you can prepare either of these as a side for a feastful dinner:

  • Easy Dinner Rolls
  • Homemade Garlic Bread
  • Sauteed Mushrooms
  • Pasta Salad
  • Rice Pilaf
