Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a separate bowl. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
One at a time, dip each shrimp into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the Parmesan coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Enjoy!
