Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 medium lemon cut into wedges

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano in a small bowl. Pour over the shrimp and toss to coat.
  4. Sprinkle grated parmesan over the bowl and toss gently until the cheese clings to the shrimp.
  5. Spread the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until opaque and the cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are completely dry before tossing to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
  • Do not use pre-shredded cheese from a can; it will not melt properly.
