Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Spread the marinated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
  8. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish, alongside crusty bread or over a bed of rice or salad.

Notes

For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the marinade.
