Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Season the Shrimp

In a large bowl, toss shrimp with melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Spread shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning evenly over the shrimp.

Step 3: Roast to Perfection

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly curled.
Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness!

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with pasta, rice, crusty bread, or over a fresh salad.

Serving Suggestions

With Pasta: Toss with cooked linguine or fettuccine for a garlic shrimp pasta!
With Rice: Serve over buttery lemon rice for a hearty meal.
As an Appetizer: Pair with garlic bread and a side of marinara sauce.

Notes

Want it crispier? Use grated, not shredded Parmesan, for better coating.
Like it spicier? Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Make it dairy-free! Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast.
Air Fryer Version: Cook at 375°F for 6-7 minutes, shaking halfway.
