This Garlic Parmesan Shrimp is a great party food. Not only does it have phenomenal flavor it looks really pretty on your table. In fact it’s so impressive your guests will never suspect you didn’t spend hours slaving away in the kitchen. That’s pretty awesome, right? You don’t have to wait to have company over to enjoy this shrimp. We actually enjoy this recipe for dinner. It’s a great main dish what pairs nicely with rice or even just with a simple veggie or salad. I bought the shrimp peeled and deveined if you’re going to peel the shrimp yourself you’ll want to allow an additional ten or fifteen minutes to you prep time. In a bowl combine olive oil, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt and pepper. Then gently toss the shrimp in the mixture to coat. Next, spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet that’s been treated with nonstick spray. Place the shrimp in a 400º oven for 6 – 8 minutes or until the shrimp is firm and pink  Then, squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp and garnish with parsley. I served it on a platter but I think it would just as pretty piled in a big bowl with some wonderful cocktail sauce for dipping.
