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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 well to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange Shrimp: Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced out to allow even roasting and to develop a nice golden color.
  4. Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and the Parmesan cheese is melted and golden brown.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Avoid overcooking the shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture.
  • Adding lemon zest can enhance brightness and flavor.
  • Double the recipe to make a larger batch suitable for parties or gatherings.
