Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • 1 lb Fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 Tbsp Butter (or olive oil)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • 2 Tbsp Chopped parsley
  • 2 wedges Lemon (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the shrimp evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with melted butter or olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well until each shrimp is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the coated shrimp mixture in a single layer inside a baking dish, making sure they are evenly distributed for uniform cooking.
  4. Bake the Shrimp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, indicating they are tender and ready to eat.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over for added zest.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but frozen shrimp can be used if thawed properly.
  • Butter adds richness, but olive oil is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • Pair this dish with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
