I absolutely loved this recipe! I utilized a 16 oz bag of frozen shrimp, which prompted me to enhance the garlic powder and paprika to 1/2 teaspoons each and include 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. I opted to bake it in the oven at 350°F for 12 minutes, and the result was incredibly delicious and bursting with flavor. I will definitely be preparing this dish again using the same method as it was both simple and speedy.

This dish was incredibly delicious! I topped a lemon-infused pasta with it, adding mushrooms to the seasoned shrimp before cooking them in the Air Fryer. It was a breeze to make and took under 30 minutes from start to finish. Excited for the leftovers!

Straightforward, fast, and mouthwatering. Followed the recipe exactly as written. Opted for Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning for a sodium-free option. Made a batch of 16 oz and they were devoured in no time. Baked them at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

This dish was average. It lacked flavor and was a bit dry, but I enjoy shrimp regardless of how it's prepared. I probably won't order this dish again.

Lacks flavor. There are plenty of delicious shrimp recipes available. This one won't be added to my rotation.
