10-Minute Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Recipe
Description
The recipe uses large shrimp seasoned with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, then grilled to retain a satisfying firmness. A vibrant dressing made from crushed garlic, lemon juice and zest, oregano, olive oil, and optional parsley is whisked together and used to coat the hot shrimp immediately after grilling. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a nutty, savory layer that complements the bright citrus and subtle heat.
This shrimp can be served as a starter with simple sides such as Greek salad skewers or hummus, or as a main dish over grains or summer salads. The recipe offers flexible serving ideas to match different occasions.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated carefully on medium-low heat to maintain tenderness. Using jumbo shrimp is preferred for ideal texture, and the recipe balances seasoning for flavor without overpowering the shrimp’s natural taste.
Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 4 garlic crushed or minced, large cloves
- 1/2 cup parsley optional, chopped
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese more to your liking, grated
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
- Prefer jumbo or larger shrimp for best texture and flavor.
- Serve shrimp soon after cooking for optimal tenderness.
- Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently in a skillet.
- Pair with light sides like Greek salad skewers or summer berry salad for a complete meal.
