  • Author: Sophia
  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Instructions

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Notes

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Coat the Shrimp: Use a spoon or brush to evenly coat the shrimp with the garlic butter mixture. Be generous to ensure every shrimp is well-covered.
  • Roast the Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with a slightly crispy top.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for a bright, tangy finish.
