Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for added crunch)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp and gently toss until all shrimp are well coated.

Step 5

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a broiler-safe baking dish or sheet pan.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. If using breadcrumbs, mix them in as well.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring all are generously coated.

Step 8

Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot, optionally with a side of crusty bread or over cooked rice or pasta.
