How to Make Spicy Baked Shrimp

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Gently toss 1 pound of shrimp with the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  5. Thinly slice 1 lemon and arrange the slices over the shrimp.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, stirring halfway through.
  7. Remove from oven and serve immediately with crusty french bread for dipping. Enjoy the leftover sauce as well!
