Lemon Shrimp
You are going to make this Lemon Shrimp again and again. Because it is tastes great and it takes 10 minutes start to finish! Even if you have to defrost, peel and devein the shrimp you can keep it under 20 minutes. AND,, if you use the microwave for the defrosting and the cooking you will do it even faster. What could be better for a quick and easy week night meal? You could also have this as an appetizer with a Sunday kinda bigger meal.
‘I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest sentence?”

- 12 large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 fresh lemon
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large clove garlic chopped
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pince black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
And here is how to make your Lemon Shrimp
Set the oven at 400°F. Put the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper. You might want to also add a pinch of red pepper flakes but that’s up to you. Put your hands in the bowl and toss everything together.
Spread everything out on a baking pan. You can line the pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with olive oil or parchment paper because either way will make the clean up easier. Bake it for about three to four minutes or until the shrimp are pink. Or, you could put it in a microwave safe bowl and zap it in 30 second shots mixing it between shots until your shrimp are pink and firm.
You can serve this up with some quick and easy sauteed spinach.
