Baked Lemon Shrimp With Garlic

This is an amazing dish.  Flavorful, tender (not dry) shrimp  baked in a delicious lemon, garlic, butter sauce with some parley.  What could be better?    I served the shrimp over some rice and spooned sauce  over the shrimp and rice.  Any leftover sauce, I mopped up with a piece of crusty bread.

It takes about 45 minutes to prepare and bake this dish.  The most time consuming part was peeling the shrimp.  First,  melt a cup of butter  and add some salt, garlic and parsley.  Place your shrimp on top of the butter and bake in a 450 degree oven for about 5 minutes.  Remove the shrimp from the oven and turn to the other side.  Sprinkle with some lemon zest, remaining parsley, and the lemon juice.  Place back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or so.

Serve the shrimp over rice.  A wonderful dinner awaits your family.
