Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) large shrimp, peeled & deveined
Seasonings and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Liquid and Herbs:
- 3 tablespoons (3 tbsp) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by warming it to a precise 400°F (200°C), ensuring an optimal roasting temperature for the seafood.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by whisking together fragrant olive oil, finely minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, aromatic Italian seasoning, and a balanced blend of salt and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Gently tumble the raw shrimp into the seasoned mixture, carefully massaging the marinade to ensure each crustacean is thoroughly and evenly glazed with the robust herb and cheese blend.
- Carefully spread the seasoned shrimp across a rimmed baking sheet, positioning them in a strategic single layer to promote even heat distribution and prevent overcrowding.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the shrimp to roast for approximately 8-10 minutes, watching for their transformation to a vibrant pink hue and golden edges that signal perfect doneness.
- Remove the shrimp from the oven and elevate their presentation by delicately scattering freshly chopped parsley across the surface, then finish with a bright, zesty squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the seafood’s natural sweetness.
- Serve the roasted shrimp immediately while piping hot, presenting a dish that combines crisp textures and bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
Notes
- Select medium-sized shrimp for consistent cooking and best texture, avoiding tiny or oversized pieces that might cook unevenly.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before coating to ensure crispy, golden edges and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Adjust seasoning intensity by increasing or decreasing garlic and Parmesan quantities to match personal taste preferences.
- Transform this recipe into a low-carb or keto-friendly option by using extra Parmesan cheese and avoiding sugary additives.
