Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Lemon wedges
  • Extra chopped parsley

Instructions:

Get Ready:
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this makes cleanup a breeze!

Season the Shrimp:
In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything until the shrimp are well coated in this savory mix.

Spread and Bake:
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not too crowded—this helps them roast evenly and develop a nice texture.

Bake:
Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them—they’re done when they turn pink and opaque.

Serve it Up:
Take the shrimp out of the oven and give them a final touch with a sprinkle of parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Enjoy this easy and delicious Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp for a quick weeknight dinner or a tasty appetizer!
