Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Coat Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl. Toss gently but completely until each shrimp is evenly coated with the garlic Parmesan mixture.
  4. Arrange for Baking: Place the coated shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Bake Shrimp: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. Bake until shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through but still tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove shrimp from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges to add a fresh, tangy finish.

Notes

  • Choose large shrimp to ensure they stay juicy and deliver a satisfying texture.
  • For a deeper garlic flavor, marinate the shrimp in the butter mixture for 20-30 minutes before baking.
  • Substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper, saltier taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic Parmesan sauce.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or a light pasta for a complete meal.
