Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 ½ lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional, for a little kick

  • Large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mixing and Roasting
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper, then toss gently to coat.
  2. Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked, avoiding overcooking to prevent rubbery texture.
Serving
  1. Remove the shrimp from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the shrimp for 15-20 minutes before roasting. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
