10-Minute Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Recipe
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.
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- red pepper flakes, to taste
- 4 large garlic cloves, crushed or minced
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley, optional
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan, more to your liking
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.
