Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp and gently toss until all shrimp are well coated.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a broiler-safe baking dish or sheet pan.
In another bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. If using breadcrumbs, mix them in as well.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring all are generously coated.
Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally with a side of crusty bread or over cooked rice or pasta.
