Ingredients

Scale

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 thoroughly and remove the veins by deveining them to ensure optimal flavor and texture.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the shrimp in the prepared marinade until they are well-coated and place them evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray to prevent sticking.
  4. Roast the Shrimp: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful to avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges to squeeze over for an extra burst of freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and opaque.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional and can be adjusted for heat preference.
  • Serving with lemon wedges enhances the brightness of the dish.
  • For a crispier finish, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
