Ingredients
Scale

Cheese and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Liquids and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a searing 400F (200C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the succulent seafood.
- Blend the shrimp with aromatic garlic, sharp Parmesan, silky olive oil, zesty lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring each morsel is luxuriously coated.
- Prepare the baking surface by either draping parchment paper or applying a delicate layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a pristine, singular layer across the prepared sheet, allowing each piece ample space for perfect caramelization.
- Slide the tray into the preheated oven, roasting for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp transform into a golden, opaque treasure with slightly crisp edges.
- Carefully extract the baking sheet, permitting the shrimp a brief moment to settle and intensify their flavors.
- Present the roasted delicacy while still warm, inviting diners to savor the harmonious blend of Mediterranean-inspired seasonings.
Notes
- Check shrimp size to ensure even cooking, choosing medium to large for best results.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning to achieve beautiful golden-brown exterior and prevent soggy texture.
- Arrange shrimp with slight spacing between each piece to allow proper heat circulation and crispy edges.
- Swap dairy-free Parmesan or nutritional yeast for lactose-intolerant diets without compromising rich, savory flavor profile.
