Ingredients

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 lb (680.39 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup (33.33 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (218ºC) to prepare for baking the shrimp evenly and quickly.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp evenly in a large 9×13-inch (or larger) glass or ceramic baking dish to ensure they cook uniformly.
  3. Season the shrimp: Drizzle olive oil over the shrimp. Sprinkle the minced garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss gently in the pan to coat all shrimp pieces with the seasonings, then spread them out evenly again.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface of the shrimp, which will add a rich and savory flavor.
  5. Bake the shrimp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes until the shrimp turn bright pink and are nearly cooked through.
  6. Broil for finishing: Turn on the oven broiler and broil the shrimp for about 1 minute or until the Parmesan cheese is golden and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Serve the hot garlic Parmesan baked shrimp immediately over cauliflower rice or keto noodles, accompanied by fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over.

  • Ensure shrimp are evenly spread in the baking dish to cook uniformly.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on shrimp size and oven performance.
