Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnish & Serving

  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the fresh shrimp under cold water to clean them thoroughly. Peel and devein the shrimp carefully to ensure optimal flavor and texture.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to create a rich and flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat the shrimp evenly with the butter and garlic-Parmesan marinade, ensuring each shrimp is well covered. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray to prevent sticking.
  4. Roast the shrimp: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, being careful to avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them juicy and tender.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional; add them to adjust the spice level to your preference.
  • Using fresh shrimp enhances flavor, but you can use frozen shrimp thawed properly if needed.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a savory depth—use freshly grated for best results.
  • Serve as an appetizer or paired with pasta, salad, or crusty bread for a main meal.
