Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; gently reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat to keep the shrimp tender.
- For a complete meal, serve this flavorful shrimp with a side of roasted asparagus or a simple green salad.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish; bake in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and beautiful browning.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens the dish and adds a zesty finish you'll adore.
