Description

This Easy Baked Shrimp with Garlic and Parmesan recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy succulent shrimp coated in a savory blend of garlic, paprika, and Parmesan cheese. Perfect as a low-carb main dish or a tasty appetizer, it bakes in under 10 minutes and finishes with a broil for a golden, crispy top.

Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 1 1/2 lb (680.39 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Topping & Serving

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) to prepare for baking the shrimp evenly and quickly.
  2. Arrange the shrimp: Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp out in a large glass or ceramic baking dish (9×13-inch or larger) for gentle heat distribution.
  3. Season the shrimp: Drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp, then sprinkle minced garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the dish to coat thoroughly with the seasonings, then arrange them evenly in a single layer.
  4. Add Parmesan topping: Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp evenly to ensure a flavorful crust when baked.
  5. Bake the shrimp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes or until the shrimp turns bright pink and is nearly cooked through.
  6. Broil to finish: Switch the oven to broil and broil the shrimp for about 1 minute or until the Parmesan topping turns golden and crispy, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately over cauliflower rice or keto noodles with lemon wedges to add a fresh, citrusy brightness.

Notes

  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish to ensure gentle and even heat distribution for perfectly cooked shrimp.
  • Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let the shrimp come to room temperature before reheating gently in the oven to maintain texture and flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with low-carb side options like cauliflower rice or keto-friendly noodles for a wholesome meal.
