Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish (approximately 9×9 inches).
Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, tossing gently to coat all the shrimp.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the shrimp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
