Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, with tails on or off)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • ½ tablespoon white wine (optional, See Notes)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (plus more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley leaves (freshly chopped)
  • lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375º F. In a small bowl, combine everything but the shrimp, parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of parsley.
  • Place the shrimp in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour butter mixture over and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until shrimp is just cooked through and pink.

Recipe Notes

  • Serving suggestions: Try over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, cauliflower rice, or Palmini pasta.
  • How to peel and devein shrimp: To peel a shrimp, start underneath (where the legs are). You can leave the tail on for looks or remove it, up to you. To devein, make a shallow slice in the shrimp over the black vein. Remove the vein gently with your knife and discard.
  • White wine substitution: Use extra lemon juice or chicken stock.
