Ingredients
– 1 lb large peeled and deveined shrimp (16-20 count per pound) for star protein
– 3 tablespoons melted butter for coating and richness
– 4 cloves garlic, minced for aromatic flavor
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese for savory crust
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for Italian taste
– Salt and pepper, to taste for seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
– Lemon juice, to taste for zesty brightness
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat and Prep Mise en Place Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat 1 lb large peeled, deveined shrimp dry with paper towels. Dry shrimp roast better, avoiding sogginess. Gather 3 tbsp melted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2-Second Step: Toss the Shrimp Mixture In a bowl, combine shrimp with melted butter, minced garlic, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently until every piece coats evenly. This quick marinade builds flavor fast. For low-carb fans, skip extra seasonings here.
3-Third Step: Arrange on Baking Sheet Spread shrimp in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Avoid crowding for crisp parmesan shrimp edges. Space promotes even cooking and caramelization. Pop into the preheated oven right away.
4-Fourth Step: Roast to Perfection Roast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Shrimp turn pink and opaque, curling into a C-shape. Internal temp hits 145ยฐF. For extra crispness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end watch closely to prevent burning. This high-heat method yields oven roasted garlic parmesan shrimp better than stovetop.
5-Final Step: Garnish and Serve Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped parsley, and drizzle lemon juice. Serve hot with pasta, rice, bread, or salads. Pairs with white wine. Nutrition shines: low-cal, high-protein. This quick roasted shrimp recipe impresses every time.

๐ฏ Don’t overcook the shrimp – they continue to cook after removing from the oven, so pull them when they’re just pink and opaque
โ๏ธ For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded – it melts better and has superior taste
โฐ Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning – this helps them roast rather than steam and creates better texture
