Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp
If you’re a fan of shrimp and looking for a dish that combines the irresistible flavors of garlic, parmesan, and a crispy, golden crust, look no further than Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs optional, for extra crunch
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley plus more for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon for zest and wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the shrimp roast quickly and evenly.
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp well to coat them evenly in the seasoning mixture.
- Coat with Parmesan and Breadcrumbs: Add the grated parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (if using) to the shrimp. Toss gently to ensure each shrimp is coated with the parmesan and breadcrumbs, creating a cheesy crust.
- Arrange the Shrimp: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Roast the Shrimp: Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, and the parmesan has formed a crispy, golden layer.
- Serve and Garnish: Once the shrimp are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, zesty touch. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
