Description

This Baked Garlic Parmesan Shrimp recipe is a quick and flavorful seafood dish perfect for weeknight dinners. Succulent shrimp are tossed in a fragrant mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and lemon zest, then topped with grated Parmesan cheese before being baked to perfection. Garnished with fresh parsley, this dish offers a delightful blend of savory and tangy flavors with a crispy cheesy finish.

Ingredients

Marinade and Shrimp

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 2 pounds shrimp, deveined

Topping and Garnish

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat Italian parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and lemon zest. This mixture will infuse the shrimp with bright and savory flavors.
  3. Coat Shrimp: Add the deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss thoroughly to make sure each shrimp is evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
  4. Arrange Shrimp: Transfer the coated shrimp to a baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the shrimp. This will create a delicious cheesy crust as it bakes.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and sprinkle chopped flat Italian parsley on top for a fresh, herby finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp if possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they become rubbery when cooked too long.
  • You can serve this dish with crusty bread, over pasta, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
