Ingredients

• 12 pieces large shrimp
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Carefully slice down the back of each shrimp to deepen the cut a little, creating a cavity for the stuffing. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined to form a uniform stuffing mixture.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Take a small spoonful of the cheese mixture and fill each shrimp cavity, pressing gently to secure the stuffing.

Step 6

Arrange the stuffed shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed shrimp.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and the stuffing is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
