Baking Tips
For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp for 10-15 minutes before cooking in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
You can substitute the smoked paprika with regular paprika if you prefer a milder flavor.
If you like a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or parmesan cheese after cooking the shrimp.
Serve the shrimp over rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
