Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasonings

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a blend of thyme, oregano, and basil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cheese

  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, freshly minced garlic, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all shrimp are evenly coated.
  3. Add parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the finely grated parmesan over the shrimp and gently mix to ensure the cheese sticks without overpowering the garlic flavor.
  4. Roast the shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the parmesan cheese turns golden and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh lemon wedges or chopped parsley for a bright finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and a crispy crust.
  • Watch the cooking time carefully, as shrimp can become rubbery if overcooked.
  • Grate parmesan cheese finely for better melting and crispiness.
  • Preheat the oven fully to ensure the shrimp roast properly.
