Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb peeled and deveined fresh shrimp
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in finely minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until combined, creating a fragrant blend to coat the shrimp.
  3. Assemble the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well coated. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the Parmesan is golden and bubbly. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender and juicy.
  5. Add Fresh Parsley & Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp instead of frozen for better texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking dish to ensure even cooking and a perfect crust.
  • Watch the baking time carefully to avoid rubbery shrimp.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese from a block for best melting and authentic taste.
  • Adjust the amount of minced garlic to your preference for garlic intensity.
