Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off as you like)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated (use Parmigiano-Reggiano for best flavor)
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic paste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted (can substitute all olive oil for dairy-free)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika adds depth)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for finishing)

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, add the shrimp, Parmesan, minced garlic, olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Cooking

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure pieces don’t overlap.
Roast for 8 to 10 minutes, watching closely. Shrimp are done when opaque, pink, and the cheese is golden in spots.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently: warm in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes or briefly sauté in a skillet over medium heat. Avoid microwaving for long periods. For longer storage, freeze cooked shrimp in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
