Ingredients
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh lemon juice, to taste
- 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting the shrimp evenly.
- Prepare the shrimp mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly so every piece is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange shrimp for roasting: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and spread the shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the shrimp: Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the shrimp from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use large shrimp for best texture and flavor.
- Keep the tails on for easier handling and presentation.
- Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
- Customize seasoning by adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
