This baked garlic shrimp recipe is easy and quick, and just 115 calories per serving!I like to make a double batch (just click the 2X button below) and save the leftovers to add to salads for lunch throughout the week. Special Tip: I prefer this easy shrimp dinner recipe with lime juice, but lemon works as well. Choose your favorite citrus, or change it up each time you make it so you can try it different ways.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Pat the shrimp dry, then spray with olive oil.
Add the oiled shrimp to the bowl of seasoning and toss well to coat the all the shrimp.
Place the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the oven until juicy and opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
Squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the shrimp and serve hot.
Leftovers/Meal Prep:
Cook the shrimp as directed above.
Cool completely and add to a freezer safe container or bag.

To reheat, add to a skillet over medium heat along with 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice. Cook until heated through (about 5 minutes).
