Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mixture
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Butter Parmesan Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the shrimp evenly.
- Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat all shrimp evenly with the seasoning.
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined to create a rich garlic Parmesan butter sauce.
- Combine and Arrange: Pour the Parmesan butter sauce over the shrimp mixture and toss gently to coat. Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8-10 minutes or until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, optionally over pasta, rice, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
