Ingredients

For the Shrimp

1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off as preferred) Use frozen shrimp that’s been fully thawed if fresh isn’t available.
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use finely grated for even coating; Pecorino Romano works as a sharper substitute.
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or basil Parsley is classic; basil adds a sweeter note.
1/2 teaspoon fine salt Adjust to taste.
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Adjust to taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the rack in the center position.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to help the coating stick and to promote browning.
In a large bowl, stir together the minced garlic, olive oil, grated Parmesan, and chopped herbs until you have a loose paste.
Add the shrimp to the bowl. Toss gently until every piece is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly oiled to roast them instead of steaming.

Cooking

Bake for about 10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. Remove from the oven when the shrimp are just opaque and pink.
Serve warm with extra chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
