This garlic Parmesan roasted shrimp recipe is quick, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Ready in under 20 minutes!

  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set it to 400°F and lightly grease your baking sheet with nonstick spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
    • Tip: Preheating is key for even roasting. Don’t skip this step!
  2. Prepare the shrimp: Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet. This helps them cook evenly and roast properly instead of steaming.
    • Personal note: I’ve crowded the pan before, and the shrimp came out watery—don’t make my mistake!
  3. Season everything: Drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp, then sprinkle on the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and Parmesan cheese. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently with tongs or your hands.
    • Tip: Make sure every shrimp is coated evenly with the seasoning mix for maximum flavor.
  4. Roast: Pop the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 6-8 minutes. The shrimp are ready when they turn pink and firm, and the cheese starts to melt slightly.
    • Note: Keep an eye on them—overcooked shrimp can get rubbery quickly!
  5. Add lemon juice: Once out of the oven, stir in the fresh lemon juice while the shrimp are still hot. This gives them a bright, citrusy lift.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a final touch of color and flavor.

Notes

Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the shrimp in a skillet over low heat with a splash of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice. This prevents them from drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the shrimp rubbery. If you plan to use the leftovers for a new dish, they’re excellent tossed into pasta or stirred into a creamy risotto.
