What type of shrimp should I use for the Lemon butter-baked shrimp?

I must say that I do prefer the Jumbo Shrimp with this recipe. There are multiple types though, you could use regular if you cannot find Jumbo shrimp.

What type of Lemon butter should I use?

There really are so many types of Lemon butter available. They each have their own signature taste. I can say that you should choose a lemon butter with a lemon that is high in acidity. It makes the flavor of the Shrimp pop.

Can I use a different seasoning for the Baked Lemon Butter Shrimp?

Of course you can change it to your favorite seasoning. This could mean you switch to a Cajun Butter shrimp or a different type of citrus and butter.
