Ingredients:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the shrimp in a single layer. This ensures even cooking and perfectly tender shrimp.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce evenly over the shrimp, making sure each piece is fully coated. This step locks in moisture and creates that irresistible creamy texture.
Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the cheese is bubbly. For a golden, lightly crisp cheese topping, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Finish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty garlic bread for a comforting, crowd-pleasing meal.
