Description

This Garlic Parmesan Baked Shrimp recipe offers a flavorful and easy-to-prepare seafood dish perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Succulent large shrimp are tossed in a savory mixture of melted butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and aromatic seasonings, then baked until perfectly cooked and tender. Garnished with fresh parsley and served with lemon wedges, this dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
  3. Coat Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the shrimp thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the garlic butter and spices.
  4. Arrange Shrimp: Spread the coated shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining garlic butter mixture over the shrimp for extra flavor and moisture during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and are just cooked through, ensuring they remain tender and juicy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Serve the garlic parmesan shrimp over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  • For extra flavor and a golden finish, broil the shrimp for the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time.
