Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F, establishing an optimal roasting temperature for succulent shrimp, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Marinade Creation: Combine olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl, whisking until a harmonious, fragrant blend emerges.
- Coating Process: Immerse the shrimp in the seasoned mixture, gently tossing to ensure each piece is thoroughly and uniformly coated with the aromatic marinade.
- Baking Arrangement: Carefully arrange the shrimp on a rimmed baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer, promoting uniform caramelization and preventing steaming.
- Roasting Stage: Place the tray in the preheated oven, roasting for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp transform to a delicate pink color with golden-kissed edges, signaling perfect doneness.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the tray from the oven, immediately garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a vibrant lemon juice squeeze, enhancing the shrimp’s natural maritime essence.
- Serving: Transfer the aromatic, golden-brown shrimp directly to serving plates, capturing the dish at its most tantalizing and flavorful moment.
Notes
- Preheat Precisely: 400°F is the golden temperature for achieving perfectly roasted shrimp with crisp edges and juicy interiors.
- Coat Thoroughly: Ensure every shrimp is completely covered in the garlic-Parmesan marinade for maximum flavor absorption and consistent seasoning.
- Space Strategically: Arrange shrimp in a single layer without touching to allow proper heat circulation and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Check Carefully: Roast for 8-10 minutes, watching for pink color and slight golden edges to prevent overcooking and maintain tender texture.
