Ingredients:
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
– Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish, setting the stage for our crustaceans’ transformation.
2. Lay the shrimp out in the baking dish in a single, even layer, a quiet sea of possibility awaiting the magic to come.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and paprika. This aromatic potion will cloak each shrimp in a cloak of bold flavor.
4. Drizzle your garlic butter mixture over the shrimp, taking care to coat each one generously.
5. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp, like the first snowfall blanketing a well-worn pat
