Description

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp is a quick and flavorful dish combining succulent shrimp with a savory blend of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings. Perfect as a speedy appetizer or a main course, this recipe features shrimp roasted to tender perfection and finished with a fresh lemon juice drizzle and optional parsley garnish, offering a deliciously rich yet light meal that pairs well with pasta, rice, or salad.


Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until every shrimp is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange Shrimp on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  4. Roast the Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. The shrimp are done when they turn pink, become opaque, and reach the perfect tenderness.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Remove the shrimp from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice to add brightness. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp if desired for a fresh herbal note.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the shrimp hot right out of the oven. This dish can be served alongside pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • This recipe serves as a quick and tasty appetizer or main dish, making it versatile for different meal occasions.
  • For a crispier finish, broil the shrimp for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at the end of roasting.
  • If using pre-cooked shrimp, roast just long enough to warm through to avoid overcooking and making the shrimp rubbery.
