Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Finishing Touches

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (optional for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the shrimp evenly and quickly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the shrimp from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  3. Prepare the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want some heat. Toss thoroughly to coat each shrimp evenly with the seasoning mixture for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they cook evenly and roast properly without steaming.
  5. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the shrimp, which will melt during roasting and add a rich, cheesy crust.
  6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 10–12 minutes, or until they turn pink and are opaque throughout, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  7. Garnish: Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and squeeze the lemon juice over them if using, adding freshness and brightness to the dish.
  8. Serve Hot: Serve your Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp right away while hot and flavorful for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the red pepper flakes amount or omit them entirely depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and become rubbery if roasted too long.
  • For a gluten-free option, confirm that your grated Parmesan cheese is gluten-free.
  • This dish pairs excellently with pasta, salads, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
