Print Recipe

A quick and healthy keto-friendly shrimp recipe roasted on a sheet pan with zesty lemon, garlic, and butter for a flavorful and easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught if possible)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
  4. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak in the flavors.
  5. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Tuck thin lemon slices evenly among the shrimp.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink and opaque with slight caramelized edges. Avoid overcooking.
  8. Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley. Toss gently to combine.
  9. Serve immediately with keto-friendly sides.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the shrimp on the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Fresh garlic is preferred for best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely before cooking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Check smaller shrimp at 8 minutes to avoid overcooking. Lining the pan with parchment paper helps with easy cleanup.
