Description
A quick and easy recipe for crispy garlic parmesan roasted shrimp with a golden, crunchy crust and garlicky, cheesy flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¾ cup (75g) panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 2 minutes until fragrant and soft, but not browned.
- In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, salt (about ½ teaspoon), and pepper (¼ teaspoon). Pour in the warm garlic butter and olive oil. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and looks crumbly but moist.
- Pat your shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl with the panko-parmesan mixture. Toss gently with tongs or a fork until each shrimp is well coated. Do this in batches if necessary.
- Place the coated shrimp in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until shrimp are pink and opaque with a golden, crispy coating.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Pat shrimp dry to ensure a crispy coating. Keep garlic butter on low heat to avoid burning. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Turn shrimp halfway through roasting for even crispiness. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers. Freshly grated parmesan is preferred for better flavor and melting.
