Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb large raw shrimp (21-26 count), peeled & deveined
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon Juice (juice of 1 small or ½ large lemon)
• ¼ cup extra light olive oil (not extra virgin)
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp cajun seasoning
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• ½ Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• ½ tsp grated lemon zest

Directions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together: juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning and 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Add 1 lb shrimp and stir well to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• To make the garnish: In a small bowl, stir together ½ Tbsp chopped parsley with ½ tsp grated lemon zest - cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat Oven to 450˚F. Transfer shrimp to a baking dish large enough to hold shrimp in a single layer. Bake uncovered until firm (8-10 minutes). Dont over-bake or shrimp can become rubbery. Sprinkle the top with optional garnish and serve. P.S. The sauce left in the pan makes for an excellent bread dip :).
