Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Fresh lemon zest or juice
  • Panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to achieve the perfect bake for your shrimp.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry using paper towels—this helps them sear and absorb flavors better. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Mixture: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan, melted butter, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Coat the Shrimp: Toss the shrimp in the garlic Parmesan mixture until every piece is generously coated in that flavorful blend.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Spread the shrimp evenly in a single layer on a baking dish or sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque, with bubbling Parmesan on top.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious, crusty Baked Garlic Parmesan Shrimp!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Shrimp: For the best texture and flavor, use fresh or properly thawed frozen shrimp.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Baking shrimp in a single layer ensures even cooking and perfect browning.
  • Watch the Bake Time: Overcooked shrimp become rubbery—start checking at 8 minutes to catch the sweet spot.
  • Fresh Garlic for Bigger Impact: Avoid pre-minced garlic from a jar as fresh garlic always delivers superior aroma and taste.
  • Customize the Cheese: Mixing Parmesan with Pecorino Romano gives a sharper, more complex cheese layer.
