Cheesy, garlicky shrimp baked to perfection with a bubbly Parmesan and mozzarella crust—ready in under 30 minutes for a cozy, flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp butter (melted)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and black pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
1/2 lemon (juice of)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning to make the garlic butter sauce.
Step 4: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the shrimp.
Step 5: Sprinkle grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the shrimp.
Step 6: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque and cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 7: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking shrimp. Try swapping mozzarella for provolone or fontina, or add fresh basil or thyme for different flavor notes.
