Kosher salt
Black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

4. Pat the shrimp dry and toss them in the marinade until evenly coated.
5. Allow the shrimp to marinate while the oven finishes preheating.
6. Spread the shrimp in a single layer on a large sheet pan and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
7. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the shrimp turn opaque pink and are just cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes
Do not overcook the shrimp or they may become rubbery.
Pre-peeled and deveined shrimp save preparation time.
Serve with rice, pasta, crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Fresh parsley and lemon juice add the best finishing flavor.
