One of my personal chef client families loves, loves, loves seafood dishes. Each week I make 3 different entrees including some of their favorites like Lemon and Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi, Pecan Crusted Honey Mustard Salmon, and Baked Cod with Crispy Garlic Herb Panko. As shrimp is one of their frequent requests, this Parmesan and garlic roasted shrimp is a new menu option I recently prepared for the family. It was a hit!

chef tips for how to cook shrimp in the oven

Frozen shrimp are good: Most shrimp that are labeled “fresh” at the grocery store were most likely frozen and then thawed. And who knows how long that shrimp has been sitting in the fish case. Grab a frozen bag of shrimp as they will cook and taste better.
Preheat the baking sheet: For the best results, I like to sear shrimp at a high temperature. To achieve this in the oven, preheat the baking sheet. When the hit the hot baking sheet, they will start to cook immediately. The result is juicy and tender shrimp.
Are the shrimp cooked?: Shrimp are cooked when they are pink and firm to the touch.

how to serve roasted shrimp

I am a fan of dipping sauces and love to serve these roasted shrimp as a twist on the traditional shrimp cocktail. Serve the shrimp along side either a cool and refreshing Tzatziki Sauce or a warm tomatoey Marinara Sauce with Fresh Basil. The sauces compliment the flavor of the nutty Parmesan cheese and earthy garlic roasted shrimp.

Try the roasted shrimp on top your favorite salad with a drizzle with Caesar dressing. Tuck the shrimp into these amazing Mediterranean Shrimp Tacos. Toss the shrimp with linguine, olive oil, fresh basil, and more grated Parmesan cheese for a quick dinner.
