Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mixture
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Shrimp Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange Shrimp: Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
- Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, and the Parmesan cheese becomes golden and slightly crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use large shrimp for best texture and flavor, but medium shrimp can also work.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as it can become rubbery; they cook quickly at high temperature.
- For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a light salad.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
