Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a separate bowl. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

One at a time, dip each shrimp into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 5

Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the Parmesan coating is golden and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Enjoy!
