Shrimp Mixture
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- 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 evenly coat all shrimp with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange shrimp on baking sheet: Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and crisp edges.
- Roast the shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, and the cheese turns golden and slightly crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are spread out in a single layer to allow even roasting.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with dried parsley if fresh isn’t available, but add it after cooking to avoid burning.
- For extra zest, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade before roasting.
- Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
