Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking dish and arrange the shrimp in a single layer. In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, melted butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon pepper, and a pinch of chile powder, then pour this flavorful sauce over the shrimp. Pop the dish into the oven and roast until the shrimp turn pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top and lower the oven temperature to 400°F.
