Description

Ingredients
Large shrimp – 1 lb (peeled and deveined, tails on)
Olive oil – 2 tbsp
Garlic – 4 cloves (minced)
Grated Parmesan cheese – ⅓ cup
Fresh parsley – 2 tbsp (chopped)
Smoked paprika – 1 tsp
Salt & pepper – to taste
Lemon wedges – for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Add Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, gently tossing until shrimp are well coated.
4. Spread shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 8–10 minutes or until shrimp are pink and slightly golden on edges.
6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook quickly and become rubbery if overdone.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
