    This Sheet Pan Shrimp recipe is so versatile and can be prepared to your own liking by adding your own favorite seasoning blend to it.

    Though the lemon butter sauce is absolutely mouth-watering just like it is, you can add a little Homemade Cajun Seasoning to them for an added kick of flavor if you like a little heat.

    Baked shrimp is the perfect dish for an elegant dinner party or easy enough to have any night of the week!

    What's in Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp

    • Shrimp
    • Butter
    • Garlic
    • Olive oil
    • Lemon
    • Parsley
    • Smoked paprika
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp

    Preheat oven to 400F.

    garlic butter sauce in glass bowl with whisk

    In a small mixing bowl, add in the butter, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice and zest, then whisk to combine.

    Place them on the upper ⅔ rack of your oven and bake 8 minutes or until the shrimp have turned pink.

    Garnish with fresh lemon slices and the rest of the chopped parsley.  You can serve the shrimp with the lemon garlic butter sauce over cauliflower rice, Palmini or shirataki noodles.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two or freeze.

    My personal favorite pasta substitute is Palmini Noodles. The texture is much like al dente pasta and when they are rinsed well before using, they do not have a funny taste like a lot of other types. And the great thing about it is Palmini comes in different widths. They have Palmini Linguini size noodles and they even have Palmini Lasagna sized noodles.

    Tips For Buying Shrimp

    • Look for the "easy peel," shrimp. They have the skin split down the back that make peeling a breeze.
    • Unless you're lucky enough to live in coastal region that have daily shrimp boat arrivals, chances are you're buying shrimp that have been imported, but that's usually just fine. Just make sure they're firm in texture and do not feel slimy or have a strong "shrimpy" smell. That usually means they are not so fresh.
    • If you're buying frozen shrimp, which definitely have a longer shelf life, read the label. Shrimp should be just that, shrimp. There should be no preservatives listed on the label.
    • Really good quality shrimp, when cooked, will have a real sweet flavor. So, if you get some that tastes of chlorine or ammonia, which is sometimes used to clean them in some countries, you may want to try another brand.
    • Wild caught shrimp are going to be sweeter and are better quality than farm raised, so try to find those when you can. They'll keep for months in the freezer so stock up when you're able. They're great to have on hand, and they thaw in cool water in minutes. You can have a Keto shrimp recipe ready in minutes!

    What are the Carbs in Shrimp?

    There are only about 1.5 grams of carbs in a 6 ounce serving of shrimp and they are an excellent source of protein. That makes them a wonderful choice for those on Keto or low carb diets.

    What Goes with Shrimp?

    One of the many beautiful things about Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Shrimp is it goes with almost any low carb side dish. You could served it with a simple garden salad with this creamy homemade Thousand Island Dressing.

    For a hot Keto side dish to serve along side shrimp, you could make these amazing Green Beans Almondine, Cheese Roasted Asparagus or serve them over this versatile Lime Cilantro Cauliflower Rice.

      Can you make this with regular paprika instead of smoked?

        You sure can. You can really use just about any of your favorite seasoning.

        I do not include all nutritional info. It's always a good idea to add your own brand of ingredients in your tracker to get the most accurate amounts.

        Not really sure what you mean. The first says to pour and combine and the other step is just a note saying to be sure they are coated well. I hope that helps with your confusion

        Check out the recipe card and that will help you a lot. This recipe calls for 24 ounces of shrimp and the recipe makes 6 servings, So, each serving will be about 4 ounces.

      This was absolutely delicious! For veggies I cut up bell peppers, onions and broccoli and placed on a secondary sheet pan with some Italian dressing drizzled over and baked at the same time as the shrimp. Hubby ate like he hadnt eaten in a week. And then he said you need to make that again!!!!! I can guarantee you I will!!!
