Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 ½ lb about 680 g Large raw shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 2 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice plus extra wedges
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • ¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp Smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Freshly ground black pepper optional
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Align a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Baking the Shrimp
  1. In a large bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, turning once halfway.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. If you don't have fresh Parmesan, pre-grated will work in a pinch, but fresh provides superior flavor and texture.
