Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1.5 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop small mounds of shredded cheddar cheese onto the parchment paper, leaving at least 3 inches between each mound. Flatten the mounds gently with the back of the spoon to form circles approximately 4 inches in diameter.
Step 3
Bake the cheese rounds for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Carefully transfer the cheese shells to a cooling rack using a spatula, allowing them to crisp up further as they cool.
Step 4
While the cheese shells cool, toss the shrimp in a bowl with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated in the seasoning mix.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Step 6
To assemble, place a crispy cheese shell on a serving plate. Add three ranch-dusted shrimp on top of each shell.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
Step 8
