Cuisine: American, Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method
 

Preheat the oven:
  1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the seasoning mixture:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Coat the shrimp:
  1. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the garlic-Parmesan mixture.
Arrange for roasting:
  1. Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Roast the shrimp:
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 8–10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and slightly golden on the edges.
Add finishing touches:
  1. Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve:
  1. Serve hot as an appetizer, over pasta, or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal.
  2. Enjoy!
