Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan and chopped parsley over the shrimp, gently tossing to stick the cheese without crushing the shrimp.
- Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
- Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque, curled slightly, and the edges are golden.
- Transfer to a platter, serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Notes
For extra crunch, broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at the end, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
