Cheesy Baked Tiger Shrimp Recipe
Description
The Cheesy Baked Tiger Shrimp recipe begins by butterflying raw tiger shrimp and placing them on a baking sheet. A thin coating of mayonnaise spread over the shrimp helps keep them moist during baking while adding a subtle creaminess. Sprinkling garlic parsley salt brings a mild herbal and garlicky seasoning to the shrimp. Topping each piece with cheese creates a melted, savory crust once baked at 400°F for about 12 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
The resulting dish has a contrast between the tender, juicy shrimp and the slightly golden, cheesy topping. This method enhances the shrimp's flavor without overpowering it, making for a rich yet balanced seafood entree. It's suitable for serving as a main course or appetizer and can be paired with sides like rice or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Shrimp raw, tiger variety
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 cup cheese
Instructions
- Wash the shrimps under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Butterfly the shrimp and place them on a baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of mayo on top of the butterflied shrimp and season them with garlic parsley salt. Top with a handful of cheese.
- Bake the shrimp at 400°F for about 12 minutes (check them around the 10 minute mark just to make sure they're not overcooking). Once the shrimp turn pink, they're ready! Serve and enjoy.
