Ingredients

Scale

Now, let’s talk ingredients. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those recipes with a grocery list as long as your arm. We’re all about simplicity and flavor here.

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Feel free to swap out mozzarella for any melty cheese you have on hand. Trust me, this is the kind of flexibility that makes cooking at home so rewarding.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps, and you’ll have a plate full of crispy, cheesy goodness in no time.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly.
  5. In a bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Place spoonfuls of the shrimp mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and a dash of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy every cheesy, garlicky bite!

Remember, cooking is all about experimenting. Don’t be afraid to add your own twist—maybe a splash of lemon juice or a handful of breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
