Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 500 g (1 lb) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Parmesan Topping

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Optional Garnish

  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a baking dish to prepare for the shrimp.
  2. Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the greased baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  3. Make Parmesan Topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, dried parsley, and melted butter. Mix well to form a crumbly topping.
  4. Bake: Evenly sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the arranged shrimp. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the shrimp are pink, opaque, cooked through, and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately alongside rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
