Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup reduced-fat Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges and extra parsley for serving
How to Make It:
1. Prepare the Shrimp:
Rinse and pat the shrimp dry. Season lightly with salt, pepper and a touch of lemon zest.
2. Infuse the Aromatics:
Warm olive oil in a pan. Add garlic and parsley, allowing their fragrance to bloom gently.
3. Sear the Shrimp:
Increase the heat slightly. Cook the shrimp just until they begin to blush pink, then remove and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Compose the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan with any remaining aromatic oil. Spoon this mixture over the shrimp so it forms a delicate savory coating.
5. Unite and Serve:
Bake at 425 F for 12 to 15 minutes until the shrimp are fully opaque. Finish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
