Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the Shrimp
In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Add Cheese & Herbs
Add grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Gently toss again to coat the shrimp thoroughly.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Roast
Roast for 8–10 minutes, or until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly golden around the edges.
6. Serve
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, zesty finish.
Notes
Avoid overcooking—shrimp cook quickly and can become rubbery.
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Serve over pasta, rice, zucchini noodles, or alongside a fresh salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
