Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Carefully slice down the back of each shrimp to deepen the cut a little, creating a cavity for the stuffing. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined to form a uniform stuffing mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Take a small spoonful of the cheese mixture and fill each shrimp cavity, pressing gently to secure the stuffing.
Arrange the stuffed shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed shrimp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and the stuffing is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
