Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic freshly minced
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 medium lemon cut into wedges

Equipment

  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Dry the shrimp: Thoroughly pat the peeled shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure they roast instead of steam.
  3. Coat with oil: Place the dried shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil over them and toss well.
  4. Add seasonings: Sprinkle the minced garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika into the bowl. Toss again until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange on pan: Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring no pieces overlap.
  6. Roast: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque pink, form a loose C-shape, and the cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melting texture.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid rubbery textures.
