In this easy shrimp parmesan recipe, shrimp are coated in butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic, then baked in a hot oven into succulent, cheesy perfection.
1poundshrimpjumbo size, 21-25 per lb., peeled and deveined, patted dry
Avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
Place the butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl. Melt it in the microwave, in 30-second increments.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the Parmesan, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into two separate shallow bowls – this will ensure the Parmesan stays as dry as possible, making it easier to coat the shrimp.
Dip each shrimp in the melted butter to coat, then roll in the Parmesan mixture.
Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with avocado oil.
Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes
After baking the shrimp, you can briefly broil them for about 1 minute to promote browning.There's no need for any added salt in this recipe. The shrimp and cheese add plenty of saltiness.You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in a sealed container, for up to 3 days. Reheat them very gently, in the microwave, at 50% power. Or you can add them cold to a salad.
