Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Parmesan Crust

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the shrimp.
  2. Toss the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly so that all the shrimp are well coated with the seasoning.
  3. Prepare the Parmesan topping: In a smaller bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs until evenly combined.
  4. Arrange the shrimp: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned shrimp out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  5. Add the crust: Sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, gently pressing it down so it sticks to each piece.
  6. Bake the shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink, are cooked through, and the Parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use finely shredded Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated.
  • This dish is delicious served over pasta, a crisp salad, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
