Best Baked Shrimp

When cooking a protein, including shrimp, pat it dry of any moisture and make sure it is at room temperature when preparing for the best result.
Some people don’t like leaving the tail on, but I do because it makes it easier for people to pick them up when serving.
Make sure to grease the baking dish with butter so the shrimp don’t stick, and because it adds flavor!
