3-Ingredient Sheet-Pan Lemon Butter Shrimp
This three-ingredient oven-baked shrimp is the kind of weeknight magic worth leaning on when life is busy but you still want something a little special…
Why This Recipe Works
The genius of this dish is that it embraces frozen shrimp instead of fighting them. There is no thawing, no marinating, and no standing over a hot pan.
- Straight from frozen: the icy shrimp go directly onto the pan, so the exterior roasts while the inside stays plump and moist.
- Just three ingredients: shrimp, butter, and lemon do all the work, with the butter and citrus melting into a simple pan sauce.
- One pan, minimal cleanup: line the sheet with foil and the tidying up takes seconds.
It is the definition of high reward for low effort, which is exactly what a good weeknight recipe should be.
