1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Parsley, chopped for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Tin foil
Preparation:
Preheat and Prep: Begin by heating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. As your oven warms, toss the shrimp with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Assemble the Packet: Lay a large piece of tin foil on a flat surface, and place the seasoned shrimp in the center. Drizzle with lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Seal the edges of the foil, creating a packet that holds in all the flavors.
Bake: Place the foil packet on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Serve with Care: Let the packet rest a moment after removing it from the oven. Then, carefully open it to release the aromatic steam, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Serving Suggestions:
Complement this spicy dish with a side of creamy coleslaw or a refreshing cucumber salad to balance the heat. A side of buttery corn on the cob or crusty garlic toast makes for delightful accompaniments, perfect for soaking up the succulent juices.
