Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasonings

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with minced garlic, lemon juice, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
  3. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  4. Combine and Arrange: Pour the garlic Parmesan butter mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat thoroughly. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast Shrimp: Roast in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over them, followed by the chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious roasted shrimp.

Notes

  • Serve the garlic Parmesan roasted shrimp over cooked pasta or steamed rice for a complete meal.
