10-Minute Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Recipe
Report
Easy grilled shrimp recipe ready in 10 minutes or less! Plump jumbo shrimp are quickly cooked on a hot grill before being tossed with lemon-garlic sauce and Parmesan cheese. The bigger the shrimp, the better for this recipe. I used jumbo shrimp, which are easy to handle and flip on the grill. They also don't dry out as quickly as smaller shrimp.

Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with a big pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss to be sure the shrimp is well-coated with the oil.
- In a large bowl, combine garlic, parsley (if using), lemon juice and zest, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Whisk together.
- Heat a grill or indoor griddle to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Grill the shrimp on each side until just pink (about 5 minutes or so in total, depending on the size of the shrimp).
- Immediately remove the shrimp from the heat and toss it in the prepared olive oil and garlic mixture. Add the parmesan cheese, then toss to coat.
- Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.
Notes
- What shrimp to use? Large shrimp are the best option here. Jumbo shrimp or bigger would be a good choice. I used jumbo shrimp.
- Serve garlic-parmesan shrimp with: Serve as an appetizer with Greek salad skewers, muhammara, avocado hummus, and more (plenty of ideas in the post). Or serve it as an entree over grains, or with a side like grilled corn salad or a summer berry salad.
- Leftovers and storage: Leftover garlic-parmesan shrimp will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium-low heat in a skillet until warmed through.
