🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
5Set it aside.
6In another bowl, mix together grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
7Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture.
8Stir until the breadcrumb mixture is well combined and slightly moistened.
9This will help it adhere to the shrimp.
10Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
11Sprinkle the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well coated.
12Press gently to adhere the coating.
13Place the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
14Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the Parmesan breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
15Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
16Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the shrimp rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
17This allows the juices to redistribute within the shrimp, ensuring they are juicy and flavorful.
