Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 lb fresh peeled and deveined shrimp

Seasoning & Flavorings

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the shrimp roast quickly and evenly, developing a beautiful golden color without drying out.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is key to achieving a nice roast and caramelization. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix the flavorful coating: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and aromatic.
  4. Toss shrimp in the mixture: Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over the shrimp, tossing gently but thoroughly to coat every piece evenly with the flavorful blend.
  5. Roast the shrimp: Spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with lightly browned Parmesan edges.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor; thaw frozen shrimp fully and pat dry if using frozen.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and crisp edges on the shrimp.
  • Watch the cooking time closely as shrimp cook quickly; overcooking can make them rubbery.
  • Grate Parmesan fresh for optimal melting and browning instead of pre-shredded cheese.
  • Serve immediately for the juiciest and most flavorful experience.
