Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the shrimp roast quickly and evenly.
In a large bowl, combine 1 lb large shrimp (tails on), 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shrimp in a single layer without overlapping. Bake for 10 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque, and the Parmesan is golden.
Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and serve hot. Perfect as an appetizer or paired with pasta, rice, or salad.
Notes
For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp mixture before roasting.
