Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb fresh peeled and deveined shrimp

Garlic Parmesan Coating

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easy and arrange the shrimp in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients form a flavorful paste.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Gently toss the shrimp in the garlic Parmesan mixture until each piece is well coated. This step is crucial for infusing every bite with the bold flavors.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the coated shrimp evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with a lightly browned Parmesan crust.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with extra fresh parsley and a final squeeze of lemon juice for that bright finish before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Choose large shrimp for better texture and flavor absorption.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure a crispy exterior.
  • Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder for optimal flavor.
  • Monitor cooking time closely to avoid overcooked, rubbery shrimp.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese fresh for best melting and taste.
