Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp (16–20 count), peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian-style)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  2. Thaw frozen shrimp in cold water if needed, then pat dry thoroughly.
  3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, melted butter, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss shrimp in the mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 8–10 minutes, or until shrimp are pink, opaque, and the coating is golden and crispy.
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  8. Serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.

Notes

  • Use ghee or flavored olive oil instead of butter for variation.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can enhance the flavor.
  • Substitute Parmesan with Asiago or Pecorino Romano for a twist.
  • Increase red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
  • Best served fresh, but also great for salads the next day.
