Ingredients for Baked Shrimp with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

• Extra large raw shrimp – large or jumbo size will work too just adjust bake time slightly (give or take).
• Butter – salted or unsalted will work here.
• Garlic – use fresh garlic for best results.
• Lemon juice – don’t use the bottled stuff here only fresh.
• Salt and pepper
• Red pepper flakes – if you don’t like heat omit, if you love heat add extra.
• Fresh parsley – not only will this add color but a light herby flavor that pairs well with lemon.
