Directions
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a glass or ceramic baking dish with some olive oil to keep the shrimp from sticking. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with tomato paste, chili powder, basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice and give everything a good mix. Stir in the chopped cilantro, then transfer the mixture to your prepared dish. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the shrimp turn bright pink—just be careful not to overcook them, or they’ll get tough.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a light meal. It also pairs well with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up any flavorful juices.
Refrigeration Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Eat within two days for the best taste and freshness. Reheat gently to avoid toughness.
