Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp

 

 

Ingredients:

– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– Lemon wedges for serving

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a nice roast that brings all the flavors together!
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss them in the garlic mixture until they are evenly coated.
4. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
5. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp for that delicious cheesy flavor.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking!
7. Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing!
