Creating Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal roasting.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3. Mix Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
4. Combine Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp, mixing again to ensure even coverage.
6. Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for uniform cooking.
7. Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
8. Broil for Extra Crisp: For a little extra crunch on top, switch to broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and flavor.
10. Serve: Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
