How to make this garlic lemon roasted shrimp recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).

Heat the olive oil in a skillet, and sauté the onions, garlic, and pepper until almost tender (a minute or two). Then transfer to a baking sheet.

Toss your raw shrimp with the garlic infused olive oil and then add to the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.

After the shrimp cook for about 8 minutes, they will turn pink and the veggies will be tender.

You could serve them just like this, but don’t stop here. Adding fresh minced parsley with some grated lemon zest takes this dish to a whole new level.

The shrimp are tender and not at all tough, and the peppers, garlic, and onions are slightly sweet.

The herbs and lemon zest add just the right amount of tang to balance the flavors. My husband RAVED about this dish.
