Description

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp is a quick and delicious seafood dish featuring large shrimp coated in a flavorful blend of garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese, then roasted to perfection. This easy-to-make recipe offers a savory, cheesy crust with bright notes of fresh lemon and parsley, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or entertaining guests.


Ingredients

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Finishing Touches

  • Fresh lemon juice, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the shrimp.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Toss well to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange Shrimp: Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This ensures even cooking and easy cleanup.
  4. Roast Shrimp: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
  5. Add Lemon and Parsley: Once out of the oven, immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp for a bright citrusy flavor and garnish with chopped parsley for color and freshness.
  6. Serve: Serve the garlic Parmesan roasted shrimp hot as an appetizer or main dish paired with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Leave the tails on the shrimp for better presentation and easier handling.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor; pre-grated varieties often have anti-caking agents that affect texture.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding red pepper flakes for some heat if desired.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
  • Ensure shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before seasoning to achieve the best texture.
