Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mixture
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Butter Parmesan Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the shrimp evenly and quickly.
- Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly in the seasoning.
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until it is well incorporated, creating a rich sauce.
- Combine and Arrange: Pour the butter and Parmesan sauce over the shrimp mixture, tossing gently to ensure all shrimp are well coated. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly.
- Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve the shrimp hot, paired with your choice of pasta, rice, or a crisp side salad.
Notes
- Serve over pasta, rice, or with a side salad for a complete meal.
- Pair with crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
