Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnish and Serving

  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the fresh shrimp under cold water and ensure they are peeled and deveined to achieve optimal flavor and texture in the final dish.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade that will coat the shrimp.
  3. Preheat the oven and coat shrimp: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the shrimp in the prepared marinade to evenly coat them, then arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. Bake the shrimp: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once baked, garnish the shrimp with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges for an added burst of freshness and acidity.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture, but frozen shrimp that has been properly thawed will also work.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired spice level or omit completely for a milder dish.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
  • To avoid rubbery shrimp, monitor the baking closely and remove as soon as they are opaque and pink.
