Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp

Ingredients
For the shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine shrimp, Parmesan, garlic, olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Cooking
- Roast for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and the cheese is golden.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Best served hot, right out of the oven. Pairs well with pasta, salad, rice, or crusty bread. For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in olive oil and garlic mixture for 30 minutes before roasting. Don't overcook the shrimp; they are done when they turn pink.
