Instructions

- Pour oil into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Place shrimp in the oil in the dish.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or substituting the dry wine with a splash of white wine vinegar. You can also use fresh herbs like basil or thyme instead of parsley to give a different twist. If you're short on time, pre-cooked shrimp can be used, but adjust the baking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked jumbo shrimp with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices, or pair them with a light salad for a refreshing meal. They also work well with Mediterranean recipes such as a side of Mediterranean Seafood Casserole. A chilled glass of white wine complements this dish beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover baked jumbo shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the shrimp are fully cooked?
