Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

Garlic Parmesan Topping

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix the Garlic Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Arrange the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and the topping is golden and bubbling. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking and retain tenderness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp for color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp to ensure even cooking and optimal texture.
  • Arrange shrimp in a single layer to maximize crispiness and cook evenly.
  • Finely mince garlic to release maximum flavor without overpowering bites.
  • Watch baking time carefully to prevent rubbery shrimp.
  • Add extra lemon juice just before serving for a fresh, zesty lift.
