Ingredients List
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined — tender and juicy with every bite.
4 tbsp butter — rich and indulgent, the base of our flavor-packed sauce.
4 garlic cloves, minced — aromatic and savory, the star of the dish.
1 tsp paprika — adds a subtle smokiness and beautiful color.
1/2 tsp black pepper — for a gentle heat.
Salt to taste — enhances all the flavors.
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped — for a fresh, herby finish.
2 ears of corn, halved — sweet, juicy, and a perfect pairing for the shrimp.
Lemon wedges (optional) — for a bright, citrusy zing.
Substitution tips: Use ghee or olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version. Frozen corn on the cob works in a pinch, just thaw before baking.

Compared to stovetop or grilled shrimp dishes, this baked version saves time and cleanup, making it ideal for busy evenings.

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the halved corn and shrimp on the sheet in a single layer.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until aromatic.

Step 3: Coat the Shrimp and Corn
Drizzle the garlic butter mixture generously over the shrimp and corn. Toss gently with tongs or your hands to coat everything evenly. Keep the shrimp nestled around the corn for best flavor blending.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and pink, and corn is golden and tender. No flipping needed!

Step 5: Finish and Garnish
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped parsley over everything. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a citrusy finish.
