Today’s party shrimp appetizer is one that can be prepared at the last minute. That is one of the great things about shrimp, they cook fast.

About 2 hours before your party, you place the shrimp in a simple marinade. The marinade is made by combining olive oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, basil, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, and pepper. I love that I can have these all prepped in plenty of time before my guests arrive.

Then just before your party starts or even as the guests arrive, you cook the shrimp in the oven. They literally cook in the oven in just in 4 minutes – 2 minutes per side. Not only are they easy to make but they are also delicious. I also like to line my baking sheet with foil to make clean up a snap. This is really one of the easiest appetizers to put together. I like to serve them on a platter with some disposable appetizer forks on the side.

You can broil on high but keep an eye on it.
