Description

This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp recipe delivers succulent shrimp infused with the rich flavors of garlic, butter, and Parmesan cheese.

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 Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to evenly coat the shrimp with the seasonings.
  3. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until it combines smoothly into the butter.
  4. Combine and Arrange: Pour the Parmesan butter mixture over the seasoned shrimp. Toss to coat all the shrimp well. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn pink, opaque, and are cooked through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Serve this roasted shrimp over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
  • Pairing with crusty bread makes an excellent accompaniment to soak up the garlic Parmesan butter sauce.
  • To keep shrimp tender, avoid overcooking as they can become rubbery if roasted too long.
