A flavorful and easy-to-make shrimp dish with a Cajun twist.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the shrimp.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish.
Using a single layer helps the shrimp cook evenly.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir the butter constantly to prevent it from burning.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the melted butter. Stir well.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the seasoned butter sauce over the shrimp in the baking dish.
Ensure all shrimp are coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Keep an eye on the shrimp to avoid overcooking.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the baked shrimp before serving.
The lemon juice adds a refreshing tang to the dish.
Serve the shrimp hot with crusty bread or your favorite side dish.
Pair with a side that complements the rich flavors of the shrimp.
