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…
Variations and Tips
A few simple adjustments let you tailor this to your family and turn it into a fuller meal.
- For milder palates: skip the lemon zest, use just the juice, and offer extra wedges at the table for the adults.
- For garlic lovers: tuck two or three minced garlic cloves, or a teaspoon of garlic powder, around the shrimp before baking.
- For color: scatter thinly sliced green onions or chopped parsley over the shrimp right after they leave the oven.
- For a one-pan meal: add a single layer of thinly sliced zucchini, asparagus, or halved cherry tomatoes under the shrimp so they roast in the lemon-butter drippings.
- For a crowd: use two sheet pans so the shrimp roast rather than steam.
Leftovers are just as good the next day, tossed into pasta, folded into tacos, or chilled and served over a salad. Simple, bright, and reliably delicious, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.
