Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp

Details:

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • Cook Time: 8-10 minutes

  • Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the shrimp. Ensure your peeled and deveined shrimp are pat dry with a paper towel. This helps the marinade cling and ensures the shrimp roast, not steam.

  3. Make the garlic marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

  4. Toss and coat. Add the dried shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the garlic mixture. Transfer the shrimp to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

  5. Add the parmesan. Evenly sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the shrimp.

  6. Roast. Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn opaque and pink. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can quickly become tough.

  7. Serve. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
