How to Make Baked Shrimp in Garlic Butter Sauce
1. Preheat your oven
Set it to 430°F (220°C). While it heats, place the wine and a few tablespoons of butter in your baking dish. Pop that in the oven for 10 minutes — this helps the flavor come alive.
2. Season the shrimp
Toss them with lemon juice, garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper. It’s okay if the butter firms up — it’ll melt again in the oven.
3. Make the topping
