Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Cheese and Dairy

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  2. Prepare the 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 coat all the shrimp evenly with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange the shrimp: Spread the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking and browning.
  4. Roast the shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and the Parmesan cheese on top turns golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use large shrimp for the best texture and to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery; roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven and shrimp size.
  • For extra zest, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before roasting if you like a bit of heat.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
