Baked Garlic Parmesan Shrimp

Indulge in the irresistible flavor of Baked Garlic Parmesan Shrimp, a dish that combines fresh shrimp with the savory punch of garlic and the richness of Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 60 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 40 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and lightly grease a suitable baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange the shrimp in a single, even layer in the prepared baking dish, making sure not to overlap the pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp, then season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing touch.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the shrimp in the garlic butter mixture for about 30 minutes before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
