10 minutes in a hot oven and they emerge wonderfully succulent and flavorful! The entire recipe takes just 25 minutes to make. These oven-baked shrimp parmesan are especially good. The combination of butter, garlic, and Parmesan is delicious, and - just as important - this is such an easy recipe. I love making recipes such as grilled shrimp, sauteed shrimp, broiled shrimp, and shrimp curry.
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty shrimp recipe. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need:
Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. Grated Parmesan: Make sure you use finely grated parmesan and not coarsely shredded. Spices: I use freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. Jumbo shrimp: I don’t recommend using small shrimp in this recipe. You really do need big ones. Cooking spray: I like to use avocado oil. It has a neutral flavor and a high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking.
Variations
You can use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I like both versions. Melted ghee works well instead of butter. You can also dip the shrimp in a lightly whisked egg instead of in butter, but I think that butter tastes better. Try sprinkling the shrimp with a little paprika before baking them to add some color. I do that on occasion. Sometimes I use smoked paprika or chili powder. A garnish of chopped parsley looks nice, as you can see in the photos.

Zucchini noodles Sauteed kale Spinach fritters Cauliflower mac and cheese Broccoli tots Brussels sprouts casserole Cauliflower au gratin Roasted peppers or roasted yellow squash - I like the fact that I can bake them in the same 450°F oven.
Sometimes, instead of reheating them, I add them cold to a salad. They make a great addition to this arugula salad and they can replace the chicken in this Cobb salad.
