Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

Place shrimp in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.

Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.

A lot of shrimp dishes are breaded and fried. Although very tasty, this preparation method adds unnecessary calories. But the shrimp in this dish is baked, reducing the calories without compromising flavor. The garlic and Parmesan cheese are key ingredients to adding in a lot of flavor!
